Algebra.Com's Answer #451889 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! (Amount of alcohol)/(amount of total solution) = (concentration of alcohol)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let v = unknown liters amount of pure alcohol, 100% to add. \n" ); document.write( "Amount of alcohol = v*100+20*30 \n" ); document.write( "Amount of resulting solution = v+20 \n" ); document.write( "Concentration of alcohol expected for resulting solution = 90%\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Form the proper equation and solve for the unknown variable, v. \n" ); document.write( " |
