percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Acid I 12 ----------------x ounces
\n" ); document.write( "Acid II 6 ---------------- 24-x ounces
\n" ); document.write( "Total 7.00% ---------------- 24
\n" ); document.write( "12x+6(24-x)=7*24
\n" ); document.write( "12x+144-6x=168
\n" ); document.write( "12x-6x =168-144
\n" ); document.write( "6x=24
\n" ); document.write( "/6
\n" ); document.write( "x=4 ounces 12.00%
\n" ); document.write( "20 ounces 6.00%
\n" ); document.write( "
