Let $\"w\"$ = cups of water he uses
\n" ); document.write( " $\"30+-+w\"$ = cups of lemon juice he uses
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w%2F%2830-w%29+=+4%2F1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"30+-+w\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w+=+4%2A%2830+-+w%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w+=+120+-+4w\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5w+=+120\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w+=+24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"30+-+w+=+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Roger needs 24 cups of water and 6 cups of lemon juice \n" ); document.write( "
