Let \"a\" = cost per case of juice
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"b\" = cost per case of bottled water
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "In words:
\n" ); document.write( "(cost per case) x (a certain number of cases) = cost for that many cases
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"6a+%2B+1b+=+135\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"4a+%2B+2b+=+110\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of (1) by \"2\"
\n" ); document.write( "and subtract (2) from (1)
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"12a+%2B+2b+=+270\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"-4a+-+2b+=+-110\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8a+=+160\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a+=+20\"
\n" ); document.write( "and, since
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"6a+%2B+1b+=+135\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2A20+%2B+b+=+135\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+135+-+120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+15\"
\n" ); document.write( "$20 is the cost per case of juice
\n" ); document.write( "$15 is the cost per case of bottled water
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"4a+%2B+2b+=+110\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"4%2A20+%2B+2%2A15+=+110\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"80+%2B+30+=+110\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"110+=+110\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
