X=.37(40,000+X)
\n" ); document.write( "X=14,800+.37X
\n" ); document.write( "X-.37X=14,800
\n" ); document.write( ".63X=14,800
\n" ); document.write( "X=14,800/.63
\n" ); document.write( "X=23,492 GALLONS OF CLORINE NEEDS TO BE ADDED.
\n" ); document.write( "NOTE: ADDING THE CLORINE INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF LIQUID IN THE POOL.
