You need to mix 6% peroxide solution with 9% peroxide solution to obtain 36
\n" ); document.write( " ounces of an 8% peroxide solution.
\n" ); document.write( " How many ounces of each solution is needed?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of 9% solution
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(36-x) = amt of 6% solution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation
\n" ); document.write( ".09x + .06(36-x) = .08(36)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find x, \n" ); document.write( "
