You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x be the amount of 75% antifreeze\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "75%(x)+30% (4gallons) = 60%(x+4)
\n" ); document.write( "0.75x + 0.3(4) = 0.6(x+4)
\n" ); document.write( "0.75x + 1.2 = 0.6x + 2.4
\n" ); document.write( "0.75x - 0.6x = 2.4 - 1.2
\n" ); document.write( "0.15x = 1.2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.2 / 0.15
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8 gallons of 75% solution
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
