\n" ); document.write( "2(1)+2(0)=x, where x is the amount of mix...maybe?
\n" ); document.write( "I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. My answer is x=2. I'm not even sure if that answers the question! So I am also asking what is the question asking for, besides how do you solve it?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
50% concentration is the desired answer.
\n" ); document.write( "You computed x = # quarts (out of 4 total) of OJ in the final.
\n" ); document.write( "Actually, your \"x\" changed meaning in midstream.
\n" ); document.write( "Better continuation of what you wrote:
\n" ); document.write( "2*1 + 2*0 = x quantity * y concentration
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2+2 (the total volume)
\n" ); document.write( "2 = 4 y
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1/2 concentration.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
