Question 1118479
 how much metal that is 75% iron must be mixed with metal that is 60%iron in order to get 200 kilograms of a metal that is 69%iron 
------
Equations:
x + y = 200 kg
0.75x + 0.60y = 0.69*200
---------------------------------
Modify for elimination::
75x + 75y = 75*200
75x + 60y = 69*200
-----------------------
Subtract and solve for "y"::
15y = 6*200
y = (2/5)200
y = 2*40 = 80 kg (amt. of 75% iron needed)
x = 200-y = 120 kg (amt. of 60% iron needed)
