You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Call the amount you are adding, x. Then we write
\n" ); document.write( "8(.30) + x(1.00) = (8+x)(.60)
\n" ); document.write( "2.4 + x = 4.8 + .6x
\n" ); document.write( ".4x = 2.4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 m^3 of pure clay
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
