--------percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "glycerin 50 ---------------- 60 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "water 0 ---------------- x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 10 ---------------- 60 + x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "50 * 60 + 0 x = 10 ( 60 + x )
\n" ); document.write( "3000 + 0 x = 600 + 10 x
\n" ); document.write( "0 x + -10 x = 600 - -3000
\n" ); document.write( "-10 x = -2400
\n" ); document.write( "/ -10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 240
\n" ); document.write( " 240 gallons of water
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
