How much water in gallons should be added to 1 gallon of pure antifreeze to obtain a solution that is %95 antifreeze?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "water + water = water
\n" ); document.write( "0*1 gal + x gal = 0.05(1+x)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0.05 + 0.05x
\n" ); document.write( "0.95x = 0.05
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0.0526 (# of gallons of water that must be added)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You could also do it this way:
\n" ); document.write( "antifreeze + antifreeze = antifreeze
\n" ); document.write( "1 gal anti + 0*x gal anti = 0.95(1+x) gal anti
\n" ); document.write( "1 = 0.95 + 0.95x
\n" ); document.write( "0.95x = 0.05
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0.0526 (# of gallons of wter that must be added)
\n" ); document.write( "===============================
