I'll say you have 1 gallon of solution
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+w+\"$ = gallons of water to be added
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.005+%2F+%28+w+%2B+1+%29+=+.0003+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.005+=+.0003%2A%28+w+%2B+1+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.005+=+.0003w+%2B+.0003+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.0003w+=+.005+-+.0003+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.0003w+=+.0047+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+w+=+15.667+\"$ gallons ( or whatever units you want to use ) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
