Let add x gallons of water
then will have (x+6) gallons of a 3% insecticide solution
in a 4% insecticide solution % of water, so in 6 gallons of a 4% insecticide solution is gallons of water
in a 3% insecticide solution % of water, so in (x+6) gallons of a 3% insecticide solution is gallons of water
when will add x gallons of water to 5.76 gallons of water will have gallons of water
equation
gallons of water
