This same exercise problem occurs very frequently, shown in many different examples.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ASSIGN VARIABLES
\n" ); document.write( "L = 5% alcohol
\n" ); document.write( "T = 30%, the concentration target
\n" ); document.write( "H = 95%, the high concentration material
\n" ); document.write( "M = 810 mL, amount of T conc. wanted
\n" ); document.write( "u = unknown amount of L material
\n" ); document.write( "v = unknown amount of H material\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SOLVE THE SYSTEM FOR u AND v.
\n" ); document.write( "You do the steps. The essential part (or maybe half of it) was to form the system of equations. The steps after that are routine.
