given:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a belt and a shirt costs \"182.00\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the shirt cost \"6\" times as much as the belt\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let the shirt be \"s\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let the belt be \"b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we know that \"s%2Bb=182.00%29\"..........1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we also know that \"s=6%2Ab\"..........2...substitute in 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2Ab%2Bb=182.00\"..........1...solve for \"b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7b=182.00\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b=182.00%2F7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b=26.00\"........the cost of the belt\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now find \"s\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"s=6%2A26.00\"..........2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"s=156.00\".........the cost of the shirt\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
