\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq::::: r = 4t + 8
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq:::::::: 5r + 2t = 414
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"r\" and solve for \"t\":
\n" ); document.write( "5(4t+8) + 2t = 414
\n" ); document.write( "22t + 40 = 414
\n" ); document.write( "22t = 374
\n" ); document.write( "t = 17 (# of tulips sold)
