In printing an article of 48,000 words, a printer decides to use two sizes of type.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Using the larger type, a printed page contains 1,800 words.
\n" ); document.write( "Using a smaller type, a page contains 2,400 words.
\n" ); document.write( "The article is allotted 21 full pages in a magazine.
\n" ); document.write( "How many pages must be in smaller type?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Words Eq::: 1800L + 2400S = 48000 words
\n" ); document.write( "Pages Eq::: L + S = 21
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the Pages Eq. by 1800 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "1800L + 1800S = 1800*21
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract that from the Words Eq and solve for \"S\":
\n" ); document.write( "600S = 102000
\n" ); document.write( "S = 17 (# of smaller type pages)
\n" ); document.write( "======================================
