0.13*x+0.7*200=0.29(200+x)
\n" ); document.write( "0.13*x+140=58+0.29x
\n" ); document.write( "0.13x-0.29x=58-140
\n" ); document.write( "-0.16x=-82
\n" ); document.write( "x=512.5 gallons of 13% is added to 200 gallons of 70% to get 712.5 oz at 29%
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "0.13*512.5+0.7*200=0.29(200+512.5)
\n" ); document.write( "66.625+140=0.29(712.5)
\n" ); document.write( "206.625=206.625
\n" ); document.write( "ok\r
