\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the volume of the 40% juice, in gallons.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the amount of the 10% juice is (3-x) gallons.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Your equation is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.4x + 0.1(3-x) = 0.3*3\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "saying that the amount of the pure juice in ingredients is the same as it is in the micture.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation, express  x  and calculate\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x =  = 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  2 gallons of the 40% guice and the rest (3-2) = 1 gallon of the 10% juice.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( ".   =  = 0.3 = 30% concentration.  ! Correct !\r\n" );
