\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "water - water = water
\n" ); document.write( "0.98*64 + x = 0.90(64+x)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 and solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "98*64 + 100x = 90*64 + 90x
\n" ); document.write( "10x = -8*64
\n" ); document.write( "x = 51.2 oz (amt. that must be evaporated)
