Let $\"x\"$ = the acres of corn he should plant
\n" ); document.write( "Then $\"500+-+x\"$ = acres of wheat he will plant
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of cultivating $\"x\"$ acres of corn is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"42x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Yhe cost of cultivating $\"500+-+x\"$ acres of wheat is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"30%2A%28500+-+x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If he uses the whole budget and all the land, his cost is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"42x+%2B+30%2A%28500+-+x%29+=+18600\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"42x+%2B+15000+-+30x+=+18600\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12x+=+3600\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+300\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"500+-+x+=+200\"$
\n" ); document.write( "300 acres should be planted in corn, and
