You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two Thirds the way from one to the other between the two available acid stock solutions\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you WANT the amount of the 10% to be unknown variable then x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Amount of the 40% is 30-x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10x%2B40%2830-x%29=20%2A30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10x%2B40%2A30-40x=20%2A30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2810-40%29x=20%2A30-40%2A30\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%2840%2A30-20%2A30%29%2F%2840-10%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=30%28%2840-20%29%2F%2840-10%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28x=30%282%2F3%29%29\"----------which is 20 gallons of the 10% acid.
