You can put this solution on YOUR website!
lets call the number of soft serve s
\n" ); document.write( "and the number of hard pack h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "s+h=77........eq 1
\n" ); document.write( "2s+.75h=119...eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "solver for s in eq 1 and substitute its value into eq 2.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "s=77-h
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2(77-h)+.75h=119\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "154-2h+.75h=119\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.25h=35\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28h=28%29\"$ number of hard pack cones
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28s=77-28=49%29\"$ number of soft serve cones\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
