You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let s = Su's pay
\n" ); document.write( "Let j = Jen's pay
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Sujean says \"The sum of your pay and twice mine is $840.\"
\n" ); document.write( "2s + j = 840
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Jeni says, \"The sum of your pay and twice mine is $900.\"
\n" ); document.write( "s + 2j = 900
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Add the 2 equations together
\n" ); document.write( "2s + j = 840
\n" ); document.write( "s + 2j = 900
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "3s + 3j = 1740
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify divide by 3
\n" ); document.write( "s + j = $580, they earn together each week\r
