How many gallons of a 70% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 20% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 60% antifreeze? gallons
The number of gallons that must be mixed is
(Round to the nearest whole number.)

360

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is gallons of 70% antifreeze solution, then:

0.70x + 0.20(90) = 0.60(x + 90)

0.70x + 18 = 0.60x + 54

0.10x = 36

x = 360

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2
