Let \"c\" = grams of copper in bracelet
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"g\" = grams of gold in bracelet
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"c+%2B+g+=+238\" g
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"g%2F19.3+%2B+c%2F9+=+15\" cm3
\n" ); document.write( "This is 2 equations and 2 unknowns, so it's solvable
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of (2) by \"19.3%2A9+=+173.7\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"9g+%2B+19.3c+=+2605.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of (1) by \"90\" and subtract from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"90g+%2B+193c+=+26055\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"-90g+-+90c+=-+21420\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"103c+=+4635\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+45\"
\n" ); document.write( "45 grams of copper are mixed with the gold
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"c+%2B+g+=+238\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"45+%2B+g+=+238\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g+=+193\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"g%2F19.3+%2B+c%2F9+=+15\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"193%2F19.3+%2B+45%2F9+=+15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10+%2B+5+=+15\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
