Let X be the amount of water (0% argyol).
\n" ); document.write( "Let Y be the amount of 18% argyol.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"X%2BY=10\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"0%28X%29%2B18%28Y%29=12%2810%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"18Y=120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28Y=20%2F3%29\"liters
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"X%2B20%2F3=30%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28X=10%2F3%29\"liters
