A chemist mixes 4 liters of one acid solution with 10 liters of a 40% solution, resulting in a 30% acid solution. What is the value of x, the acid of the fist solution?

Respuesta :

The setup looks like this:
0.4(10) + 4x = 0.3(14)

the 14 is the total amount of acid added.

4 + 4x = 4.2
4x = 0.2
x = 0.05 or 5 % acid solution

Answer:

The answer is A.
