You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x=required rate of flow out of the drum
\n" ); document.write( "Then 2-x=net rate of flow into the drum (rate of flow in - rate of flow out)
\n" ); document.write( "So, our equation to solve is:
\n" ); document.write( "(2-x)*96=64 or
\n" ); document.write( "192-96x=64
\n" ); document.write( "-96x=-192+64
\n" ); document.write( "-96x=-128
\n" ); document.write( "x= 1/1/3 or 4/3 gal/hr\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "2-4/3=2/3 gal/hr --net rate of flow into the drum
\n" ); document.write( "So, 2/3 * 96=64
\n" ); document.write( "64=64\r
\n" ); document.write( "
