You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here is your equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amount at 16%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let y = amount at 8%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 32...This is your first equation.
\n" ); document.write( "0.16x + 0.08y = 32(0.13)...This is your second equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What we have here is the classic case of two equations in two variables.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Can you finish now?\r
