Answer 1

Answer:

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 = 24.....Equation 1

x = 24 - y

26% × x + 11% × y = 21% × 24

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