Tasha needs 75 liters of a 40% solution of alcohol. She has a 20% and a 50% solution available. How many liters of the 20% and how many liters of the 50% solutions should she mix to make the 40% solution?

25 liters of 20%

50 liters of 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

x = liters of 50%

75 - x = liters of 20%

50x + 20(75 - x) = 40(75)

50x + 1500 - 20x = 3000

30x = 1500

x = 50

75 - x = 25
