A tank contains 20 gallons of antifreeze solution. When it is full, it contains 15% antifreeze. How many gallons must be replaced by an 80% antifreeze solution to get 20

Equation:
alcohol - alcohol + alcohol = alcohol
0.15*20 - 0.15x + 0.80x = ?*20
-------------
You post does not state the % of alcohol in the final solution.
