You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+a+\" = quarts of alcohol to be added
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.15%2A30+=+4.5+\" quarts of alcohol in 15% solution
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+a+%2B+4.5+%29+%2F+%28+a+%2B+30+%29+=+.6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+4.5+=+.6%2A%28+a+%2B+30+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+4.5+=+.6a+%2B+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.4a+=+13.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+33.75+\"
\n" ); document.write( "33.75 quarts of alcohol needs to be added
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+a+%2B+4.5+%29+%2F+%28+a+%2B+30+%29+=+.6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+33.75+%2B+4.5+%29+%2F+%28+33.75+%2B+30+%29+=+.6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+38.25+%2F+63.75+=+.6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+38.25+=+.6%2A63.75+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+38.25+=+38.25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
