Request: Can you show me and explain the work for this problem Answer by chessace(471) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x=answer which I assume is "How much was replaced?"
Translate the story and Follow the stuff:
.2(15-x) AF there all the time (especially after removal),
+.8x AF added
=.6*15 at the end
3-.2x+.8x=9
.6x=6
x=10 qts
