Answer:

  • 3 gallons 15%
  • 2 gallons 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity of 15% alcohol required. Then (5-x) is the amount of 10% alcohol needed. The amount of alcohol in the mix is ...

  0.15x +0.10(5-x) = 0.13(5)

  0.05x +0.5 = 0.65 . . . . . . . simplify

  0.05x = 0.15 . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.5

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.05

3 gallons of 15% alcohol and 2 gallons of 10% alcohol should be mixed.
