You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+x+\" = gallons of 10% solution needed
\n" ); document.write( "\"+12+-+x+\" = gallons of 30% solution needed
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.1x+\" = gallons of pure bleach in 10% solution
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.3%2A%28+12+-+x+%29+\" = gallons of pure bleach in 30% solution
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------------
