Amounts: x+y=20
\n" ); document.write( "Concentrations: 0.1x+0.2y=0.175(20)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for Concentration we multiply by 10: x+2y=35\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "next we subtract the amounts equation to get
\n" ); document.write( "y=15 and from there we deduce x=5,\r
