6*.75+x=.80(6+x)
\n" ); document.write( "4.5+x=4.8+.8x
\n" ); document.write( "x-.8x=4.8-4.5
\n" ); document.write( ".2x=.3
\n" ); document.write( "x=.3/.2
\n" ); document.write( "x=1.5 liters of pure alcohol is needed.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "6*.75+1.5=.8(6+1.50
\n" ); document.write( "4.5+1.5=.8*7.5
\n" ); document.write( "6=6
