Solved: Acid Mixture Thirty liters of a 40% acid solution

Chapter , Problem 6.2.49

(choose chapter or problem)

Acid Mixture Thirty liters of a 40% acid solution is obtained by mixing a 25% solution with a 50% solution. (a) Write a system of equations in which one equation represents the amount of final mixture required and the other represents the percent of acid in the final mixture. Let and represent the amounts of the 25% and 50% solutions, respectively. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the two equations in part (a) in the same viewing window. As the amount of the 25% solution increases, how does the amount of the 50% solution change? (c) How much of each solution is required to obtain the specified concentration of the final mixture?
