16.) You are in Chemistry lab and in order to pass your lab you need to mix two acid solutions
together. One solution is 8% acid and another solution is 18% acid. How many gallons of each acid
should be mixed together to produce 30 gallons of a solution that is 12% acid?

Let x = the liters of 8% sodium solution let y = the liters of 18% sodium solution

Write an equation for total volume of solution:


Write an equation for total volume of acid:









17. A carpenter makes and sells rocking chairs. The material for each chair costs $25. The chairs sell
for $125 each. If the carpenter spends $3000 start up costs, how many chairs must he sell to break
even?
Let x = the number of chairs made and sold
Let y = the dollars of expense or income

Expense = _______________________________________ Income = _________________________________________

Break-even is where expenses = income, use this relationship to solve the system of equations.






18. Bonus Problem: A dog walker earns $12 per hour. She also earns $18 per hour for babysitting.
