document.write( "Let represent How many gallons of a 25% chemical solution must be added
\n" );
document.write( "Mixing the 25% and 50% to get 30% solution:
\n" );
document.write( "***   |Solve for x
\n" );
document.write( "      .20*60gal/.05 = x = 240gal, the gallons of 25% solution to add
\n" );
document.write( " CHECKING our answer***
\n" );
document.write( " 60gal + 30gal = .30*300gal = 90gal
