\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity: r + p = 14 bottles
\n" ); document.write( "Value::: 55r+45p = 740
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the 1st by 55 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "55r + 55p = 55*14
\n" ); document.write( "55r + 45P = 740
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"p\":
\n" ); document.write( "10p = 30
\n" ); document.write( "p = 3 (# of bottles of apple juice)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"r\":
\n" ); document.write( "r + p = 14
\n" ); document.write( "r + 3 = 14
\n" ); document.write( "r = 11 (# of bottles of orange juice)
