Darryl wants to add enough water to 8 gallons of a 10% bleach solution to make a 5% bleach solution. Which equation can he use to find x, the number of gallons of water he should add?


1.( (0.8)/(8 + x) )( (5)/(100) = 1 \\ 2. (0.8)/(8 + x) = (5)/(100) \\ 3. (0.8)/(8 + x) = (100)/(5) \\ 4. (0.8)/(8 + x) / (5)/(100) = 1
