\n" ); document.write( "\"a+%2B+w+=+40\"
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "\"w+=+40+-+a\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.6a+%2B+1.1w+=+1.25%2A40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.6a+%2B+1.1%2A%2840+-+a%29+=+50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.6a+%2B+44+-+1.1a+=+50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".5a+=+50+-+44\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".5a+=+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a+=+12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w+=+40+-+a\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w+=+28\"
\n" ); document.write( "12 lbs of almonds and 28 lbs of walnuts are needed
