Let x=number of liters of mixture to be drained.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We drain out x amount of the 40% and then add back the same amount of pure.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, we have the equation \".40%286-x%29%2Bx=.50%286%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2.4-.40x%2Bx=3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2.4%2B.60x=3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\".60x=.60\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=1\" liter.
