percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Solution I 22 ---------------- x ml
\n" ); document.write( "Solution II 82 ------ 150 - x ml
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 30 ---------------- 150
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "22x+82(150-x)=30*150
\n" ); document.write( "2200x+8200(150- x)= 450000
\n" ); document.write( "2200x+1230000- 8200x= 450000
\n" ); document.write( "2200x-8200x= 450000 -1230000
\n" ); document.write( "-6000 x = -780000
\n" ); document.write( "/ -6000
\n" ); document.write( " x = 130 ml 22.00% Solution I
\n" ); document.write( " 20 ml 82.00% Solution II
