A vessel is filled with liquid, 3 parts of which are water and 5 parts syrup. How much of the mixture must be drawn off and replaced with water so that the mixture may be half water and half syrup?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Suppose the vessel initially contains 8 litres of liquid.
Let x litres of this liquid be replaced with water.
| Quantity of water in new mixture = |  |
3 - | 3x | + x |  |
litres |
| 8 |
| Quantity of syrup in new mixture = | |
5 - | 5x | |
litres |
| 8 |
 |
|
3 - | 3x | + x | |
= | |
5 - | 5x | |
| 8 | 8 |
5x + 24 = 40 - 5x
10x = 16
| x = |
8 | . |
| 5 |
| So, part of the mixture replaced = | |
8 | x | 1 | |
= | 1 | . |
| 5 | 8 | 5 |

Can anyone solve this equation for me?
3-3x/8+x = 5-5x/8
3-3x/8+x = 5-5x/8
