You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x = number of miligrams of vitamin C in an eight-ounce glass of orange juice
\n" ); document.write( "then, 185-x = number of miligrams of vitamin C in an eight-ounce glass of apple juice\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "two eight-ounce glasses of orange juice and three eight-ounce glasss of apple juice contain 452 milligrams of vitamin C\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x+3(185-x)=452
\n" ); document.write( "2x+555-3x=452
\n" ); document.write( "-x=452-555
\n" ); document.write( "x=103 miligrams of vitamin C
\n" ); document.write( "185-x = 82 miligrams of vitamin C\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ans: amount of vitamin C in an eight-ounce glass of orange juice is 103 miligrams
\n" ); document.write( " amount of vitamin C in an eight-ounce glass of apple juice is 82 miligrams \n" ); document.write( "
