Quantity information:
\n" ); document.write( "You start with 2 lbs corn, add x lbs beans, and end up with (2+x)lbs.mixture.
\n" ); document.write( "Value of corn = 6(2)= 12 cents
\n" ); document.write( "Value of beans = 9x cents
\n" ); document.write( "Value of mixture = 7(2+x)=14+7x cents\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( " Value of corn + Value of beans = Value of Mixture
\n" ); document.write( " 12 + 9x = 14+7x
\n" ); document.write( " 2x = 2
\n" ); document.write( " x = 1 (lbs. of lima beans)\r
