\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "active + active = active
\n" ); document.write( "0.70x + 0.30*10 = 0.45(x+10)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "70x + 30*10 = 45x + 45*10
\n" ); document.write( "25x = 15*10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 gallons (amt. of 70% solution needed)
