\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation::
\n" ); document.write( "juice + juice = juice
\n" ); document.write( "0.8*10 + 0*x = 0.55(10+x)
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "80*10 + 0 = 55*10 + 55x
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "800 - 550 = 55x
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "55x = 250
\n" ); document.write( "x = 50/11
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4 6/11 liters (amt. of water to add)
