    mineral oil: 12 oz

    vinegar: 4 oz

    Explanation:

    Assuming: x is the amount of vinegar, and y is the amount of mineral oil

    mineral oil that is 4 oz more than twice the amount of vinegar ⇒ y = 4 + 2x

    a squirt bottle is 16 - oz = he amount of vinegar + the amount of mineral oil

    16 = x + y = x + 4+2x = 3x + 4

    ⇔ 3x = 16-4 = 12

    ⇔ x = 4

    ⇒ y = 4 + 2x = 4 + 2x4 = 12
