A)
\n" ); document.write( "let x=12% solution
\n" ); document.write( "let 10-x=20% solution
\n" ); document.write( ".12x+.20(10-x)=.14(10)
\n" ); document.write( ".12x-.20x=1.4-2
\n" ); document.write( "-.08x=-.6
\n" ); document.write( "x=7.5
\n" ); document.write( "7.5 gal of 12%
\n" ); document.write( "2.5 gal of 20%
