Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation, where x is the number of gallons of 60% antifreeze solution.

Represent the percentages of antifreeze with decimal values.

0.6x + 0.3(80) = 0.5(x + 80)

Simplify and solve for x:

0.6x + 24 = 0.5x + 40

0.1x = 16

x = 160

So, you have to mix 160 gallons of a 60% antifreeze solution
