\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Rock cost = 30*60 = $1800
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Tree cost = 84x where x is the number of trees you buy.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Inequality:
\n" ); document.write( "1800 + 84x <= 2500
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "84x <= 700
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x <= 8 1/3
