Begin by writing an equation for the volume needed and an equation for the amount of medicine
needed.
Let a = volume of solution A.
Let b = volume of solution B.
or
a). The equation for the volume of solution:
b). the equation for the amount of medicine:
c). 2.5 ounces of A and 7.5 ounces of B
Solve the system by substituting the first equation into the second.
Substitute
for a.
Distribute.
Simplify.
Substitute b in the original equation.
The mixture will contain 2.5 ounces of solution A and 7.5 ounces of solution B.
