we can look at the problem from the point of view of water or acid.
\n" ); document.write( "water
\n" ); document.write( ".8*7+x=(7+x)*.90
\n" ); document.write( "x=7 liters of pure water
\n" ); document.write( "acid
\n" ); document.write( ".2*7=.1*(7+x)
\n" ); document.write( "x=7 liters of water as expected\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
