Let $\"x\"$ = the liters of oj removed from the 2nd tank
\n" ); document.write( "and added to the 1st tank
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"500+%2B+x+=+740+-+x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "minutes to move $\"x\"$ liters from 2nd to 1st tank:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F20\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+740+-+500\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+240\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+120\"$
\n" ); document.write( "minutes to move $\"x\"$ liters from 2nd to 1st tank:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"120%2F20+=+6\"$ min
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6\"$ min x $\"60\"$ sec/min = 360 sec \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
