-------------- percent ---------------- Amount
\n" ); document.write( "Amtifreeze I 20 ---------------- 70 gal
\n" ); document.write( "Antifreeze II 70 ---------------- x gal
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 60 ---------------- 70 + x gal
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "20 * 70 + 70 x = 60 ( 70 + x )
\n" ); document.write( "1400 + 70 x = 4200 + 60 x
\n" ); document.write( "70 x -60 x = -1400 + 4200
\n" ); document.write( "10 x = 2800
\n" ); document.write( "/ 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 280 gal Antifreeze II
