Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
2a +b = 230 ml pure alchohol
.14(2x)+ .18(230-x)= 230(1.99)
.10x =230-41.4 = 188.6
x = 1,886 ml of 15%
and 943 ml of 18%
a =14% b= 18%

asked 01/29/20In the lab, Linda has two solutions that contain alcohol and is mixing them with each other. She uses twice as much Solution A as Solution B. Solution A is 14% alcohol and Solution B is 18% alcohol. How many milliliters of Solution B does she use, if the resulting mixture has 230 milliliters of pure alcohol?
