You may mean this:
\n" ); document.write( "45 liters of 15% water in alcohol is available, and 10% water in alcohol is wanted. How much alcohol should be added?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The focus is on concentration of water. Ignoring the type of units for the concentration percents, this simple analysis helps form our equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let v = amount of alcohol to add.
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of water present will be the same before and after.
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of water = \"45%2A0.15\", as liters.
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of resulting solution = \"45%2Bv\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28%2845%2A0.15%29%2F%28v%2B45%29=0.10%29\", Decimal fractions being used instead of \"percents\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation is there, unsolved. You can check its form for understanding, and then solve for v yourself.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
