You can put this solution on YOUR website!
20ltr.x.20=4 ltrs. pure acid
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "m+n=20
\n" ); document.write( ".30m+.05n=4
\n" ); document.write( "30m+5n=400
\n" ); document.write( "5m+5n=100
\n" ); document.write( "25m=300
\n" ); document.write( "m=12
\n" ); document.write( "You need 12 ltrs. of 30% solution to 8 ltrs. of 5% solution..
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
