You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"p\"= kg of potatoes bought
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"c\"= kg of carrots bought
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"c+%2B+p+=+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \".75c+%2B+.79p+=+6.6\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is 2 equations and 2 unknowns, so it's solvable
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of (1) by \".75\" and
\n" ); document.write( "subtract from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \".75c+%2B+.79p+=+6.6\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"-.75c+-+.75p+=+-6.75\"
\n" ); document.write( "(3) \".04p+=+-.15\"
\n" ); document.write( "There's a problem here, I end up with a negative
\n" ); document.write( "number for \"p\". One or more of the numbers in
\n" ); document.write( "the problem is wrong- check it again, then
\n" ); document.write( "follow my method & you should do OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
