7m/3w=21L of milk / 9L of water
21/(9+x)=6/4
84=54+6x
6x=30; x=5L of water

M:W
7:3
42:18(60u=30L)
Units of milk should be the same for before and after bc there's no change.
M:W
6:4
42:28
60u=30L
1u=2L
28u-18u=10u (units of amount water added)
10u=10x2L=20L (amount of water added)
Ans: 20L
Como
Milk_____Water_____Mixture
7_________3________10
21________9________30
21_______x + 9______x + 30
21 / (x + 9) = 6 / 4
84 = 6x + 54
30 = 6x
x = 5
5 litres of water to be added.

21:9 down to 18:12, 3 liter difference, add 3 liters of water, 33 liters/10=3.3,3.3x6=19.8, 3.3x4=:13.2
