How many units of a 8.25% solution

must be mixed with 1.5 units of +42.2%

to get +28% mixture?

Step 1:

Let x = Number of units of Solution 1

0.0825x + 1.5 x 0.422 = 0.28(x + 1.5)

0.0825x + 0.633 = 0.28x + 0.42

Subtract +28x from both sides of the equation to isolate x:

8.25x + 0.633 - 0.28x = 0.28x + 0.42 - 0.28x

Subtract 0.633 from both sides of the equation:

-0.1975x + 0.633 - 0.633 = 0.42 - 0.633

-0.1975x = -0.213

Divide each side of the equation by -0.1975

x
-0.1975

-0.213
-0.1975

x = 1.0784810126582
