Let x cartons of pencils
\n" ); document.write( "an order comes in for a total of 100 cartons, so there was \"%28100-x%29\" cartons of erasers
\n" ); document.write( "Price for all is \"6x%2B3%28100-x%29=360\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6x%2B300-3x=360\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=360-300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=60\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=60%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=20\" cartons of pencils
\n" ); document.write( "
