You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Hi, I can solve it in a straight forward algebra way. You can do all
\n" ); document.write( "the fancy stuff they want.
\n" ); document.write( "In words:
\n" ); document.write( "(total liters of acid you end up with)/(total liters of solution you end up with) = 8%
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" = liters of 24% solution needed
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "acid in 4% solution = \".04%2A8+=+.32\" liters
\n" ); document.write( "acid in 24% solution = \".24x\" liters
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28.32+%2B+.24x%29%2F%288+%2B+x%29+=+.08\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".32+%2B+.24x+=+.08%2A%288+%2B+x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".32+%2B+.24x+=+.64+%2B+.08x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".16x+=+.64+-+.32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".16x+=+.32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+2\" liters
\n" ); document.write( "2 liters of the 24% acid solution are needed
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28.32+%2B+.24x%29%2F%288+%2B+x%29+=+.08\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28.32+%2B+.24%2A2%29%2F%288+%2B+2%29+=+.08\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28.32+%2B+.48%29%2F10+=+.08\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".8%2F10+=+.08\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".8+=+.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
