\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Equation: f + p = 1,000,000
\n" ); document.write( "Interest Equation:0.12f + 0.02p = 50000
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify the equations and solve for \"f\":
\n" ); document.write( "2f + 2p = 2,000,000
\n" ); document.write( "12f+ 2p = 5,000000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10f = 3,000,000
\n" ); document.write( "f = 300,000 (amt. invested on the farm)
