\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "water + water = water
\n" ); document.write( "0.70*100 + x = 0.90(100+x)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "70*100 + 100x = 90*100 + 90x
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 20*100
\n" ); document.write( "x = 200 gallons (amt. of pure water to be added)
