How much of each type of saline solution should the scientist mix together to achieve 5.4 liters of saline solution at a concentration level of 28%? Let x represent the amount 12% saline solution and let y represent the amount of 30% saline solution. Determine how many liters of each should be mixed toget the desired solution.*Enter a numerical value only.The amount of 12% saline solution needed isliters and the amount of 30% saline solution needed is
