Look carefully at the first part:

w = some volume of water in liters to add to make the 6 liters of 45% alcohol.

;
This means 1 liter plus liter gives only liters, NOT 6 liters. The problem description and/or question is incorrect.

Write the exact problem description and question word-for-word as your instructional material gave.
