Ive got an assignment of word problems and can't seem to figure this one out:
A 6 Litre car radiator is 2 thirds full of water. How much of a 90% antifreeze solution (90% is alcohol by volume) must be added to it to make a 10% antifreeze solution in the radiator?
I came up with the equation: 0.9x=(0.1)(6)
but that didnt work so any help about what the way to set up the problem would be great.
