how much water should be added to 414 ounces of a 21% alcohol solution to get an 18% alcohol solution
\n" ); document.write( "how much water ------------0% alcohol-----------x ounces
\n" ); document.write( "alcohol ------------------ 21% alcohol----------414 ounces
\n" ); document.write( "alcohol------------------- 18% alcohol----------(x+414)ounces
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "concentration equation
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "0+0.21*414=0.18(x+414)
\n" ); document.write( "0+86.94=0.18x+74.52
\n" ); document.write( "0.18x=86.94-74.52
\n" ); document.write( "0.18x=12.42
\n" ); document.write( "x=12.42/0.18
\n" ); document.write( "x= 69 ounces of water
