Answer:

Let r = amount of the 7% solution

y represent the amount of the 15 percent solution

r =7.5 L

y = 12.5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = amount of the 7% solution

y represent the amount of the 15 percent solution

.07r + .15 y = (r+y) .12

r+y = 20

y = 20-r

.07r + .15 (20-r) = (20) .12

0.07r+0.15(20-r)=2.4

.07r+ 3 - .15r = 2.4

-.08r = 2.4-3

-.08r = -.6

Divide by-.08

r =7.5

y = 20-7.5

y = 12.5
