Help me plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Answer 1

First, let's give the variable a name:
Let
x = gallons of water to be added
For the 10% solution we have:
0.1 * 8 = 0.8
Then, for 5% we have:
(0.8 / x + 8) = 0.05
Rewriting:
(0.8 / x + 8) = (5/100)
Answer:
An equation can be used to find x, the humber of gallons of water he should add is:
(0.8 / x + 8) = (5/100)
