document.write( "Question 762279: how many liters of 40% acid should be combined with a 20 liter mixture that is 15% acid in order to produce a mixture that is 25% acid? use X= amount of 40% acid to add. show the equation that comes from this problem.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I got (.4x+3)/(x+20)=.25
\n" ); document.write( "is this correct?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
{Amount of pure acid} / {Amount volume of mixture} = {Concentration of the acid}\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2840%2Ax%2B15%2A20%29%2F%28x%2B20%29=25\" and your equation is also good. \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You asked if your resulting answer is good. TEST it in your equation! If you find equality, then your number result is correct, otherwise not.\r
