-------------- percent ---------------- Amount
\n" ); document.write( "Acid solution 60 ---------------- 10 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Acid solution type II 3 ---------------- x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 8 ---------------- 10 + x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "60*10+3x=8(10+x)
\n" ); document.write( "600+3x =80+8x
\n" ); document.write( "3x-8x=-600+80
\n" ); document.write( "-5x=-520
\n" ); document.write( "/ -5
\n" ); document.write( "x=104 gallons Acid solution type II
