You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+x+\" = liters of pure alcohol to be added
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.7%2A10+=+7+\" liters of alcohol in 70% solution
\n" ); document.write( "In words:
\n" ); document.write( "( liters of alcohol you end up with ) / ( total liters of solution ) = 90%
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+x+%2B+7+%29+%2F+%28+10+%2B+x+%29+=+.9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+7+=+.9%2A%28+10+%2B+x+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+7+=+9+%2B+.9x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.1x+=+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+2%2F.1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+20+\"
\n" ); document.write( "20 liters of pure alcohol must be added
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
