x represents the amount of 30%
2x represents the amount of 80%
162 - 2x represents the amount of 20%
0.3x + 0.8(2x) + 0.2(162 - 2x) = 0.3(162)
Can you solve for x and answer?

asked 12/05/19A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 20% acid, the second contains 35% and the third contains 80%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 162 liters containing 30% acid, using 2 times as much of the 80% solution as the 35% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
