Question 822264: A Pharmacist is to prepare 30ml of eye drops with 4% active ingredient. They have only 1% and 10% solutions in stock. How much of each type should be used? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ---
x + 10y = 4(30)
x + y = 30
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + 10y = 120
x + y = 30
---
