This module is from Elementary Algebra by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr.
Beginning with the graphical solution of systems, this chapter includes an interpretation of independent, inconsistent, and dependent systems and examples to illustrate the applications for these systems. The substitution method and the addition method of solving a system by elimination are explained, noting when to use each method. The five-step method is again used to illustrate the solutions of value and rate problems (coin and mixture problems), using drawings that correspond to the actual situation.This module contains the exercise supplement for the chapter "Systems of Linear Equations".

A chemist needs 4 liters of a 20% acid solution. She has two solutions to mix together to form the 20% solution. One solution is 30% acid and the other solution is 24% acid. Can the chemist form the needed 20% acid solution? If the chemist locates a 14% acid solution, how much would have to be mixed with the 24% acid solution to obtain the needed 20% solution?
(a) No solution
