percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Acid solution I 30 ---------------- x L
\n" ); document.write( "Acid solution II 42 ------ 15 - x L
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 32.00% ---------------- 15
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "30 x + 42 ( 15 - x ) = 32 * 15
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "30 x + 630 - 42 x = 480
\n" ); document.write( "30 x - 42 x = 480 - 630
\n" ); document.write( "-12 x = -150
\n" ); document.write( "/ -12
\n" ); document.write( " x= 12.5L 30.00% Acid solution I
\n" ); document.write( " 2.5L 42.00% Acid solution II
