\n" ); document.write( "The way I've been setting it up is
\n" ); document.write( ".06x+.022(544-x)=.13
\n" ); document.write( "but my final result ends up being -239.36 liters. I have a feeling that one is way wrong, so I'd appreciate any help you'd be willing to offer!

\n" ); document.write( "Hi
\n" ); document.write( " SALT = SALT
\n" ); document.write( ".06x+.22(544L-x)=.13(544L)
\n" ); document.write( "I prefer to assign the greater % the \"++highlight_green%28x%29+\" (easier arithmetic)
\n" ); document.write( ".22x + .06(544L-x) = .13(544L)
\n" ); document.write( " x = .07(544L)/.16 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
