---------percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Acid solution I 10 ---------------- x ml
\n" ); document.write( "Acid solution II 18 ------ 44 - x ml
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 16.00% ---------------- 44
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "10x +18 (44-x ) = 16 * 44
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "10x+792 - 18 x = 704
\n" ); document.write( "10x -18x = 704 - 792
\n" ); document.write( "-8 x = -88
\n" ); document.write( "/ -8
\n" ); document.write( " x = 11 ml 10.00% Acid solution I
\n" ); document.write( " 33 ml 18.00% Acid solution II
\n" ); document.write( "
