You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can't find numbers. You now have three unknowns with only two equations.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+y=45
\n" ); document.write( "y=45-x
\n" ); document.write( "11x+10y= ?
\n" ); document.write( "11x+10*(45-x)=
\n" ); document.write( "11x+450-10x=x+450\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "11x+10y=x+450
\n" ); document.write( "10x+10y=450
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=45
\n" ); document.write( "You can only solve in terms of x or in terms of y.\r
