You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We have a container that we will call \"C\". This will represent it's full capacity, in Liters.
\n" ); document.write( "It is \"2%2F3\" full of water.
\n" ); document.write( "So the amount of water that we have right now is \"%282%2F3%29C\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then we subtract \"8\" Liters from it...
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29C-8\"
\n" ); document.write( "This amount is equal to \"%282%2F7%29\" of the full capacity of the container.
\n" ); document.write( "This leads us to...
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29C-8=%282%2F7%29C\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by a common denominator, which is 3*7 = 21
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2842C%2F3%29-168=%2842C%2F7%29\" which reduces to...
\n" ); document.write( "\"14C-168=6C\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 6C From both sides and add 168 to both sides...
\n" ); document.write( "\"8c=168\" and finally
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=21\"
\n" ); document.write( "Make sure to check the answer!
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29%2A21-8=%282%2F7%2921\"?
\n" ); document.write( "The capacity of the container is 21 Liters
