\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "alcohol + alcohol = alcohol
\n" ); document.write( "0.40x + 0.85*10 = 0.65(x+10)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "40x + 85*10 = 65x + 65*10
\n" ); document.write( "20*10 = 15x
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2/3)20
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13 1/3 gallons (amt. of 40% solution needed)
