$\"+.7%2A58+\"$ = oz of alcohol in 70% solution
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"x+\"$ = oz of 40% solution needed
\n" ); document.write( " $\".4x+\"$ = oz of alcohol in 40% solution
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+.7%2A58++%2B+.4x+%29+%2F+%28+58+%2B+x+%29+=+.6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.7%2A58+%2B+.4x=+.6%2A%28+58+%2B+x+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for $\"+x+\"$
