\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "active + active = active
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "0.50x + 0.40(50-x) = 0.46*50
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "50x + 40*50 - 40x = 46*50
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 6*50
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30 gallons (amt. of 50% solution needed)
\n" ); document.write( "50-x = 20 gallons (amt. of 40% solution needed)
