\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "fat + fat = fat
\n" ); document.write( "0.05x + 0.20(30-x) = 0.06*30
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 20*30 - 20x = 6*30
\n" ); document.write( "-15x = -14*30
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 28 gallons (amt of 5% milk needed in the mixture
\n" ); document.write( "30-x = 2 gallons (amt of 20% milk needed in the mixture.
