Question 762268
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


You have 20 liters of 15% acid, so there are *[tex \LARGE 0.15(20)\ =\ 3] liters of pure acid in the 20 liters you have.


If there are *[tex \LARGE x] liters of 40% acid, there are *[tex \LARGE 0.4x] liters of pure acid that are being added.


Once you add *[tex \LARGE x] liters to 20 liters, you have *[tex \LARGE x\ +\ 20] liters, and you want there to be *[tex \LARGE 0.25(x\ +\ 20)] liters of pure acid in the mixture.


So


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.4x\ +\ 3\ =\ 0.25(x\ +\ 20)]
