Question 929428: How many liters each of a 35% acid solution and a 85% acid solution must be used to produce 50 liters of a 55% acid solution? (Round to two decimal places if necessary.) Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = liters of 35% acid
y = liters of 85% acid
---
x + y = 50
35x + 85y = 55*50
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 50
35x + 85y = 2750
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
