This cannot be done. There is no such \"86%\" saline. There is no \"46%\" saline. If you wish to ignore this and just do the arithmetic, then it can be handled like so:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x, how much volume of the 6%
\n" ); document.write( "6-x, how much of the 86%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%286x%2B86%286-x%29%29%2F6=46\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x and evaluate 6-x.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
