Define x gallons: Let's call the amount of 9% solution to be added "x" gallons.
Calculate acetone in 14% solution: The amount of acetone in the 100 gallons of 14% solution is 100×0.14=14 gallons.
Calculate acetone in x gallons: The amount of acetone in the x gallons of 9% solution is x×0.09.
Find total solution amount: The total amount of solution after adding "x" gallons will be 100+x gallons.
Calculate total acetone in new solution: The total amount of acetone in the new solution should be 10% of (100+x) gallons, which is $(\(100\) + x) \times \(0\).\(10\).
Set up equation: Now we set up the equation: \(14 + (x \times 0.09) = (100 + x) \times 0.10\).
Distribute \(0\).\(10\): Distribute the \(0.10\) on the right side of the equation: \(14 + (x \times 0.09) = 10 + (x \times 0.10)\).
Subtract \(10\): Subtract \(10\) from both sides: \(14 - 10 + (x \times 0.09) = (x \times 0.10)\).
Simplify left side: Simplify the left side: \(4 + (x \times 0.09) = (x \times 0.10)\).
Subtract \(0.09x\): Subtract \((x \times 0.09)\) from both sides: \(4 = (x \times 0.10) - (x \times 0.09)\).
Combine like terms: Combine like terms: \(4 = x \times (0.10 - 0.09)\).
Simplify right side: Simplify the right side: \(4 = x \times 0.01\).
Divide by \(0\).\(01\): Divide both sides by \(0.01\) to solve for \(x\): \(x = \frac{4}{0.01}\).
Calculate x: Calculate \(x\): \(x = 400\).
