\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x = volume of the 20% orange juice (in liters) to be mixed.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the volume of the 10% orange juice is (10-x) liters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The equation is \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    pure orange juice + pure orange juice = total pure orange juice\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.2x              + 0.1*(10-x)        = 0.14*10    liters,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.2x + 1 - 0.1x = 1.4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.2x - 0.1x = 1.4 - 1\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  4 liters of the 20% and (10-4) = 6 liters of the 10% orange juice should ba mixed.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Check.   0.2*4 + 0.1*6 = 1.4 liters of the pure orange juice.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "                0.14*10       =  1.4 liters of the pure orange juice.   ! Correct !\r\n" );
