\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent amount of 6% saline solution to add
\n" );
document.write( ".06x + .10(20cc) = .08(20cc + x)
\n" );
document.write( ".06x + .10(20cc) = .08(20cc) + .08x    |combine Like Terms
\n" );
document.write( "         .02(20cc)/.02 = x
\n" );
document.write( "                  20cc = x, amount of 6% saline solution to add  \n" );
