\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the volume of the 35% solution to add (in liters).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then you have this equation for the pure acid amount\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.5*6 + 0.35x = 0.4*(6 + x)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It says that the volume of the pure acid in the mixture is the sum of the volumes of the pure acid in ingredients.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation,  x =  = 12.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  12 liters of the 35% acid solution should be added.\r\n" );
