Ken asks…Solve the Word Equation:?How many liters of a 10% alcohol solution should be mixed with 12 liters of a 20% alcohol solution to obtain a 14% alcohol solution?
Explain well and you get best answer.Nancy answers:LET THE AMOUNT OF 10% ALCOHOL MIXED BE X LITERS
0.10X + 0.20*12 = 0.14 ( 12 + X)
0.10X + 2.4 = 1.68 + 0.14X
0.72 = 0.04X
X = 0.72 / 0.04 = 18 LITERS ANSWER
