Answer:

solution 1= 40ml

solution 2= 160ml

Step-by-step explanation:

%alcohol= amount of alcohol/total solutionx100

0.52x200=104ml of alcohol present

0.2x L=0.2Lml of alcohol in solution one

0.6 x M=0.6Mml of alcohol in solution two

1st equation

0.2L+0.6M=104ml alcohol

times 10 to get whole

2L+6M=1040ml

2nd

same for this equation

10L+10M=2000ml

10L+10M=2000

2L+6M=1040

elimination method

=20L+20M=4000

-

=20L+60M=10400

-40M=-6400

M=160ml

2L+6 (160)=1040

2L=1040-960

2L=80

L=40ml
