How many days should they spend in each city? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "you want to write an equation with one unknown here \n" ); document.write( "Let s = days in S.A. \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "(7-s) = days in Dallas \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "275s + 400(7-s) = 2300 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "275s + 2800 - 400s = 2300 \n" ); document.write( "275s - 400s = 2300 - 2800 \n" ); document.write( "-125s = -500 \n" ); document.write( "s = \n" ); document.write( "s = 4 days in S.A. and obviously, Dallas 3 days \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "You can check solution by finding the total for each city. \n" ); document.write( " |
