0.3*x+0.75*10=0.55(10+x)
\n" ); document.write( "0.3*x+7.5=5.5+0.55x
\n" ); document.write( "0.3x-0.55x=5.5-7.5
\n" ); document.write( "-0.25x=-2
\n" ); document.write( "x=8 liters at 30% is added to 10 liters of 75% to get 18 liters at 55%
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "0.3*8+0.75*10=0.55(10+8)
\n" ); document.write( "2.4+7.5=0.55(18)
\n" ); document.write( "9.9=9.9
\n" ); document.write( "ok
