You can put this solution on YOUR website! These are similar problems, 2 things at 2 different values. Do it like this:
-----------------------
You have a 1.2% antibiotic cream on the shelf and you have a 3.5 % antibiotic cream on the shelf. How much of each cream should you mix together if you want to obtain 8 ounces of a 1.75% cream?
----------------------
m = 1.2% amount
n = 3.5% amount
----------------
m + n = 8 (total mixture)
0.012m + 0.035n = 0.0175*8 (total antibiotic)
2 eqns, 2 variables. Can you finish it?
