A bottle of wine costs $10. If the wine is worth $9 more than the bottle, what is the value of the bottle?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the value of the bottle be \"x\" dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "Then the wine is worth \"x+9\" dollars
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "cost of bottle + cost of wine = 10 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+9 = 10
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1/2 dollar (cost of the bottle)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x + 9 = 9 1/2 dollars (cost of the wine)
\n" ); document.write( "===============================================
