\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x = the amount (in mL) of the 80% syrup solution.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then your equation to find x is THIS\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " = 0.24\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "saying that the fraction in the left side is exactly the required amount of the sirup to provide 24% concentration 47 mL solution.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To solve the equation, multiply both sides by 47 to get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "0.8x + 4.7 - 0.1x = 0.24*47,\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  9.4 mL of the 80% sirup solution  and  47-9.4 = 37.6 mL of the 10% sirup solution.\r\n" );
