Algebra.Com's Answer #267966 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! How much water should be added to one gallon of pure antifreeze to obtain a solution that is 60% antifreeze? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of water to be added, water is 0% antifreeze \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "A simple equation \n" ); document.write( "1 + 0(x) = .60(x + 1) \n" ); document.write( "1 = .6x + .6 \n" ); document.write( "1 - .6 = .6x \n" ); document.write( ".4 = .6x \n" ); document.write( "x = \n" ); document.write( "x = .67 gal of water to be added \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Check by finding the amt of antifreeze before and after, should be the same \n" ); document.write( "(only the percent changes) \n" ); document.write( "1 = .06(1+.67) \n" ); document.write( "1 = .06(1.67 \n" ); document.write( "1 = 1; confirms our solution \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
