  1. Calculate Alcohol Content: First, let's figure out how much alcohol is currently in the 55 quarts of the 40%40\% solution.\newlineCalculation: 55 quarts ×0.40=2\times 0.40 = 2 quarts of alcohol.
  2. Determine Pure Alcohol Needed: Now, we need to find out how many quarts of pure alcohol (100%100\%) we need to add to get a 50%50\% alcohol solution.\newlineLet's call the number of quarts of pure alcohol we need to add x\textit{x}.
  3. Calculate Total Volume: After adding "xx" quarts of pure alcohol, the total volume of the solution will be 55 quarts + xx quarts. The total amount of alcohol will be 22 quarts (from the original solution) + xx quarts (pure alcohol added).
  4. Set Up Equation: We want this new solution to be 50%50\% alcohol.\newlineSo, we set up the equation: (2+x)/(5+x)=0.50(2 + x) / (5 + x) = 0.50.
  5. Solve for x: Now, solve for xx.0.50×(5+x)=2+x0.50 \times (5 + x) = 2 + x.2.5+0.50x=2+x2.5 + 0.50x = 2 + x.
  6. Final Solution: Subtract 22 from both sides to isolate the terms with xx.\newline0.50xx=2.520.50x - x = 2.5 - 2.\newline0.50x=0.5-0.50x = 0.5.
  7. Final Solution: Subtract 22 from both sides to isolate the terms with xx.\newline0.50xx=2.520.50x - x = 2.5 - 2.\newline0.50x=0.5-0.50x = 0.5.Divide both sides by 0.50-0.50 to solve for xx.\newlinex=0.5/0.50x = 0.5 / -0.50.\newlinex=1x = -1.
