acid
\n" ); document.write( " percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Solution I 50.00% ---------------- x liters
\n" ); document.write( "Solution II 70.00% ------ 60 - x liters
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 60.00% ---------------- 60
\n" ); document.write( " 60
\n" ); document.write( "50.00% x + 70.00% ( 60 - x ) = 60.00% * 60
\n" ); document.write( "50 x + 70 ( 60 - x ) = 3600
\n" ); document.write( "50 x + 4200 - 70 x = 3600
\n" ); document.write( "50 x - 70 x = 3600 - -4200
\n" ); document.write( "-20 x = -600
\n" ); document.write( "/ -20
\n" ); document.write( " x = 30 liters 50.00% Solution I
\n" ); document.write( " 30 liters 70.00% Solution II
