\n" ); document.write( "I'm assuming that the solvent is pure water, so the answer is clear.
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is the same regardless of the solvent.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = volume of pure water
\n" ); document.write( "y = volume of 93% stock solution
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "0x + 93y = 3(x + y)
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "put the system of linear equations into standard form:
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "93y = 3x + 3y
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 90y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "---

\n" ); document.write( "x = volume of pure water = 967.742 ml
\n" ); document.write( "y = volume of 93% stock solution = 32.258 ml
