OK, you've got one equation.
\n" ); document.write( "What about the rest of the information you've been given??
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F4%29W=%281%2F6%29F\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=%284%2F6%29F\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=%282%2F3%29F\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute that into your first equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"W%2BF=80000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29F%2BF=80000\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for \"F\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then go back and solve for \"W\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
