Question 763341
Monico needs to mix {{{u}}} mL of a 10% acid solution with {{{v}}} mL of a a 60% acid solution to create 100 mL of a 15% solution. How many mL of each solution must Monico use?


{{{u+v=100}}} and {{{(10u+60v)/100=15}}}


The rational equation can be easily simplified based on the conveniently chosen given values:
{{{(1*u+6v)/10=15}}}
{{{u+6v=150}}}


The equivalent system to solve is:
-------------------
{{{highlight(u+6v=150)}}}
{{{highlight(u+v=100)}}}
