How many gallons of a 80% antifreeze must be mixed with 70 gallons of 25% antifreeze to get a mixture of 70% antifreeze
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amount of 80% antifreeze added
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"amt of antifreeze added\" + \"amt in antifreeze in the 70 gals\" = \"amt of antifreeze in final solution\"
\n" ); document.write( ".80x + .25(70) = .70(70+x)
\n" ); document.write( ".80x + 17.5 = 49 + .70x
\n" ); document.write( ".10x + 17.5 = 49
\n" ); document.write( ".10x = 31.5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 31.5/.10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 315 gallons\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
