Just part (a):\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Adding the water does not change AMOUNT of alcohol.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0.6%2A80%2F%28x%2B80%29=0.4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0.6%2A80=0.4%28x%2B80%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F2%29%2880%29=x%2B80\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F2%29%2880%29-80=x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=80%283%2F2-1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=40%29\"-------liters of water to add
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
