The original problem said "During a science experiment, Jean created a 25% alcohol solution by mixing 7 fluid ounces of a 52% alcohol solution with a certain amount of a 4% alcohol solution". That means you are adding liquid to the 7 oz of alchohol.
Thanks, HallsofIvy Now I get it. Also, there is now a new problem that is actually different than mixture problems however I don't understand how to do it. Can anyone help and explain?
a+b/4 - d = e Solve for B ............ Where is B in your given equation?
4n+x/3y = 6 Solve for y.
Thanks, Help is greatly appreciated.

.The B is given on the top: a+b/4 - d = e ..............No it is NOT!
'b' and 'B' are not same in mathematics!!
Assuming you mean (a+b)/4- d= e and you want to solve for b, start by adding d to both sides of the equation. That gives (a+b)/4= d+ e. Now multiply both sides by 4. Can you finish from there?Thanks, HallsofIvy Now I get it. Also, there is now a new problem that is actually different than mixture problems however I don't understand how to do it.

Assuming you mean (4n+x)/(3y) = 6, seeing that "3y" in the denominator, the first thing I would do is multiply both sides by 3y to get 4n+ x= 18y. Do you see how to finish that?4n+x/3y = 6 Solve for y.
Thanks, Help is greatly appreciated.
