A 6% alcohol salt solution is added to a 12% salt solution to produce a 3-liter 10% salt solution. How much of each solution was used? Show your solution.
Let the volume of 6% solution==S
Then, the nolume of 12%salt solution ==3 - S
0.06S + 0.12[3 - S] ==0.10 *3, solve for S
S ==1 Liter of 6%solution
3 - 1 ==2 Liters of 12% salt solution.
