उत्तर
Let x gallons of 12% alcohol and y gallons of 4% alcohol be mixed.
Then, we have
x + y = 20 ....(i)
And, 12% of x + 4% of y = 9% of 20
⇒ `(12)/(100) xx +(4)/(100)"y"`
= `(9)/(100) xx 20`
⇒ 12x + 4y = 180
⇒ 3x+ y = 45 ....(ii)
Subtracting eqn. (i) from eqn. (ii), we get
2x = 25
⇒ x = 12.5
⇒ 12.5 + y = 20
⇒ y = 7.5
Hence, 12.5 gallons of 12% alcohol and 7.5 gallons of 4% alcohol should be used.

For solving pair of equation, in this exercise use the method of elimination by equating coefficients :
`[ x - y ]/6 = 2( 4 - x )`
2x + y = 3( x - 4 )
If 2x + y = 23 and 4x - y = 19; find the values of x - 3y and 5y - 2x.
Solve for x and y:
4x = 17 - `[ x - y ]/8`
2y + x = 2 + `[ 5y + 2 ]/3`
