Maple syrup worth $6.00 a gallon and corn syrup worth .80 cents a gallon are used to make a mixture worth $2.36 a gallon. how many gallons of each kind of syrup are need to make 50 gallons of the mixture?

35.8 gallons will be corn syrup. 

35.8 gallons will be corn syrup. 

Let x represent the amount of gallons of syrup that maple syrup has
50-x represent the amount of gallons of syrup that corn syrup has
6x+0.8(50-x)=2.36(50)
6x+40-0.8x=118
5.2x+40=118
Subtract 40 to each side
5.2x+40-40=118-40
5.2x=78
Divided 5.2 to each side
5.2x/5.2=78/5.2
x=15 gallons
50-x
=50-15
=35 gallons. As a result, there are 15 gallons of maple syrup and 35 gallons of corn syrup to make 50 gallons of mixture. Hope it help!

Cbecause they are equal so that means it is the same on both sides? ! hope this
