Question 856786
how many liters of 20% antifreeze solution and a 40% antifreeze solution must be mixed to make 10 liters of a 28% antifreeze solution?
***
let x=amt of 20% antifreeze solution to mix
10-x=amt of 40% antifreeze solution to mix
..
20%x+40%(10-x)=28%*10
.20x+4-.40x=2.8
.20x=1.2
x=6
10-x=4
amt of 20% antifreeze solution to mix=6 liters
amt of 40% antifreeze solution to mix=4 liters
