Choose the variables as follows:
x = amount of radioactive solution
and write the following equations. (We've numbered them so that we can refer to them more easily.)
We'll rewrite some of the above equations to make them more immediately useful.
Now we'll do a little algebra ....
Now we'll use equations 2 through 5 to solve for g, y, r, and x.
