.75x+.50(1000-x)=.65*1000
\n" ); document.write( ".75x+500-.50x=650
\n" ); document.write( ".25x=650-500
\n" ); document.write( ".25x=150
\n" ); document.write( "x=150/.25
\n" ); document.write( "x=600 L of 65% additive.
\n" ); document.write( "1000-600=400 L of 50% additive.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof.
\n" ); document.write( ".75*600+.5*400=650
\n" ); document.write( "450+200=650
\n" ); document.write( "650=650
