You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+a+\" = gallons of 32% HCL
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+b+\" = gallons of water needed
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"++.32a+%2F+%28+a+%2B+b+%29+=+.05+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"++.32a+=+.05%2A%28+a+%2B+b+%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.32+%2F+.05+=+%28+a+%2B+b+%29+%2F+a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6.4+=+%28+a+%2B+b+%29+%2F+a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+b+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6.4+=+100+%2F+a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+100+%2F+6.4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+15.625+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+100+-+a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+100+-+15.625+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+84.375+\"
