let x equal the number of liters of 15% weedkiller.

your equation is .15 * x + .10 * 5 = .12 * (x + 5)

simplify to get .15 * x + .10 * 5 = .12 * x + .12 * 5

simplify further to get .15 * x + .5 = .12 * x + .6

subtract .12 * x from both sides and subtract .5 from both sides and simplify to get .03 * x = .1

divide both sides by .03 to get x = .1 / .03 = 3.333333333 rounded to 9 decimal digits.

you would need 3.333333333 liters of 15% solution to be added to 5 liters of 10% solution to get 8.333333333 liters of 12% solution.

.15 * 3.333333333 = .5

.10 * 5 = .5

.5 + .5 = 1

5 + 3.333333333 = 8.333333333

1 divided by 8.333333333 = .12 which is equal to 12%.
