Let R be the number of rectangles, T triangles.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"R%2BT=26\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"4R%2B3T=92\"
\n" ); document.write( "From eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"R=26-T\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2826-T%29%2B3T=92\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"104-4T%2B3T=92\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-T=-8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28T=8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"R%2B8=26\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28R=18%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
