$10 for each scientific calculator. ------------ x numbers
\n" ); document.write( "graphing calculators, cost $52 each.------------ y numbers
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "total = 45 calculators
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "value = $1626
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x+y =45
\n" ); document.write( "10x+52y=1626
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "multiply first equation by -10
\n" ); document.write( "-10x-10y=-450
\n" ); document.write( "add to second equation
\n" ); document.write( "52y-10y=1626-450
\n" ); document.write( "42y=1176
\n" ); document.write( "/42
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1176/42
\n" ); document.write( "y= 28 graphing calculators
