\n" );
document.write( "Let x,y,z be the number of each kind of mix that can be made 
\n" );
document.write( "that is:
\n" );
document.write( " 7x+3y+4z = 67
\n" );
document.write( " 5x+2y+3z = 48
\n" );
document.write( "  x+2y+3z = 32
\n" );
document.write( "solve the 3 Eqs in the manner you choose
\n" );
document.write( "x = 4, y = 5, z = 6 \n" );
