One antifreeze solution is 26% alcohol and another is 11% alcohol how much of each mixture should be added to make 24 l of a solution tgat is 21% alcohol?

Step-by-step explanation:

One antifreeze solution is 26% alcohol and another is 11% alcohol how much of each mixture should be added to make 24 l of a solution that is 21% alcohol?

Let us represent

First solution =>x

Second solution => y

System of equations

x + y = 24Equation 1

x = 24 - y

26% × x + 11% × y = 21% × 24

= 0.26x + 0.11y = 5.04... Equation 2

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
