You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Check how this example was done and you should be able to solve your exercise :\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "two part mixture, percents, using just a single variable
\n" ); document.write( "Just identify carefully which numbers are known and which are unknown to be solved.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Actually, your exercise has only one unknown material, so the equation to setup would be this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28v%2A80%2B60%2A17%29%2F%28v%2B60%29=70\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and v is the volume of the 80% acid to add. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
