P=3L
\n" ); document.write( "equation;
\n" ); document.write( "30L+50P=18360
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute P=3L;
\n" ); document.write( "30L+50(3L)=18360
\n" ); document.write( "multiply and collect like terms;
\n" ); document.write( "30L+150L=18360
\n" ); document.write( "180L=18360
\n" ); document.write( "divide each side by 180;
\n" ); document.write( "L=102
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply 3(102) to find what P equals;
\n" ); document.write( "P=3(102)
\n" ); document.write( "P=306
\n" ); document.write( "To check our answer;
\n" ); document.write( "30(102)+50(306)=18360
\n" ); document.write( "3060+15300=18360
\n" ); document.write( "Snookers lumber must produce and sell 102 units of lumber and 306 units of plywood to make a profit of $18360.
