How much pure antifreeze must be added to have a 75% antifreeze solution? \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "anti + anti = anti \n" ); document.write( "0.30*4 + 1.00*x = 0.75(4+x) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get: \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "30*4 + 100x = 75*4 + 75x \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "25x = 45*4 \n" ); document.write( "x = (9/5)4 \n" ); document.write( "x = 36/5 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "x = 7 1/5 gallons (amt. of pure antifreeze to add) \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "============ \n" ); document.write( " |
