\".07+%2A+a+%2B+.10+%2A+b+=+640\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".10+%2A+a+%2B+.07+%2A+b+=+550\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of each equation by 100
\n" ); document.write( "\"7+%2A+a+%2B+10+%2A+b+=+64000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10+%2A+a+%2B+7+%2A+b+=+55000\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of the 2nd equation by 7/10
\n" ); document.write( "\"7a+%2B+%2849%2F10%29+%2A+b+=+38500\"
\n" ); document.write( "subtract from the 1st equation
