\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "antifreeze + antifreeze = antifreeze
\n" ); document.write( "0.70*30 + 0*x = 0.60(30+x)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "70*30 + 0 = 60(30+x)
\n" ); document.write( "2100 = 1800 + 60x
\n" ); document.write( "60x = 300
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 gallons (amount of pure water hat should be added to the mixture )
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
