--------percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Antifreeze I 40 ---------------- 15 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Antifreeze II 80 ---------------- x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 55 ---------------- 15 + x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "40*15+80x=55(15+x)
\n" ); document.write( "600+80x=25+55x
\n" ); document.write( "80x+-55 x= 825 - -600
\n" ); document.write( "25x=225
\n" ); document.write( "/ 25
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( " 9 gallons of Antifreeze II
