8. Three solutions contain a certain acid. The first contains 15% acid, the second 20% acid, and the third 30% acid. A chemist wishes to use all three solutions to obtain 600 liters of acid with 25% acid. If the mixture is to contain 100 liters more of 15% acid than 20% acid. How much of each acid solution should be used? Use the Matrix Method!
