Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a 20% acid/water solution is the same as an 80% water/acid solution
a 10% acid/water solution is the same as an 90% water/acid solution
x = liters of water that must be added
---
80*7 + 100x = 90(7 + x)
560 + 100x = 630 + 90x
10x = 70
x = 7
---
answer:
x = liters of water that must be added = 7
