Multiple Choice

A laboratory technician at a chemical processing facility is preparing a specific concentration of an acid solution for a client's quality control test. The technician needs to mix a 15% acid solution (xx) and a 35% acid solution (yy) to produce 500 milliliters of a 25% acid solution. When setting up a system of equations to solve this problem, which equation correctly represents the principle that the total amount of pure acid in the final mixture is the sum of the pure acid from the two starting solutions?
