Eli wants to combine 0.5 gallon of a 10% acid solution with some 35% acid solution to make a 15% acid solution. | Which equation can you use to determine how many gallons of the 35% acid solution Eli should add?

A
(0.10)(0.5) + 0.35g = 0.15(g+ 0.5)
B
(0.10)(0.5) + 0.35g = (g + 0.5) + 0.15
C
(g + 0.5) + 0.15 = 0.15(g + 0.5)
D
(0.10)(0.5)(0.35g) = 0.15(g + 0.5)
