percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Antifreeze I 10 ---------------- 5 gal
\n" ); document.write( "Antifreeze II 25 ---------------- x gal
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 15 ---------------- 5 + x gal
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "10*5+25x=15(5+x)
\n" ); document.write( "50 + 25 x = 75 + 15 x
\n" ); document.write( "25 x + -15 x = 75 - -50
\n" ); document.write( "10 x = 25
\n" ); document.write( "/ 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.5
\n" ); document.write( " 2.5 gal of 25 % antifreeze II
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
