how many gallons of a 60% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 30% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 50% antifreeze?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "anti + anti = anti
\n" ); document.write( "0.30*90 + 0.60x = 0.50(90+x)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "30*90 + 60x = 50*90 + 50x
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 20*90
\n" ); document.write( "x = 180 gallons (amt. of 60% mix to add)
