You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The setup is this:
\n" ); document.write( "x(.70) + 50(.40) = (x+50)(.30)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What a minute...this is impossible...you cannot add a 70% solution to a 40% solution and expect it to be more dilute...trick question! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
