Question 986264: How do I set up a system of equations to solve this:
How many gallons of a 20% lemon and sugar solution must be mixed with how many gallons of a 40% lemon and sugar solution to make 10 gallons of a 28% lemon and sugar solution? Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
T=amount of 20% solution; F=amount of 40% solution
.
T+F=10gallons
T=10gal-F Use this to substitute for T.
.
(0.20)T+(0.40)F=(0.28)10gal Substitute for T from above, solve for F.
