percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Alcohol I 12 ---------------- 12 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Alcohol II 20 ---------------- x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 14 ---------------- 12 + x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "12*12+20x= 14 ( 12 + x )
\n" ); document.write( "144 + 20 x = 168 + 14 x
\n" ); document.write( "20 x + -14 x = 168 - -144
\n" ); document.write( "6 x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "/ 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
\n" ); document.write( " 4 gallons of 20 % Alcohol II
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
