\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"You know that when a friend purchased four hamburgers, two fries, and three soft drinks, he paid $14\" means that $\"4h%2B2f%2B3s=14\"$ (where 'h' is the price per hamburger, 'f' is the price per fry, and 's' is the price per soft drink)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In addition, since \"another friend purchased six hamburgers and six soft drinks for $18\" we know that $\"6h%2B6s=18\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "And finally, because \"a third friend purchased five hamburgers, six fries, and eight soft drinks for $27\", we can say that $\"5h%2B6f%2B8s=27\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
