Homework Statement
150g of a solution which is 20% sulphuric acid (by mass) are added to x grams of a solution which is 70% sulphuric acid (by mass). What must be the value of x so that the final mixture shall contain 30% sulphuric acid (by mass)?
Relevant Equations
None
I've tried both c1v1 and unitary method but couldn't solve
