x, how much acid by volume
\n" ); document.write( "12-x, how much water by volume\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"80%2Ax%2F%2812%29=30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=30%2812%2F80%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and then find 12-x for the water.
