For an ESTIMATE how much 95% alcohol, x, \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "570-x of water\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"95x%2B0%28570-x%29=85%2A570\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"95x=85%2A570\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=85%2A570%2F95\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "510 ml of 95% alcohol
\n" ); document.write( "60 ml of water
\n" ); document.write( "(Only an estimate)
