You can put this solution on YOUR website!
p - w = 1000/4 = 250\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p + w = 1000/(10/3) = 300\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "adding equations ___ 2p = 550 ___ p = 275\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "substituting ___ 275 + w = 300 ___ w = 25
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
