\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amount drained and replaced w/pure antifreeze
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"antifreeze left\" + \"added antifreeze\" = \"antifreeze in new mixture\"
\n" ); document.write( ".20(14-x) + x = .40(14)
\n" ); document.write( "2.8 - .20x + x = 5.6
\n" ); document.write( ".80x = 2.8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3.5 quarts
