---------price ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "corn syrup 44.8 ---------------- x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "maple syrup 336 ---------------- 50 - x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 132.16% ---------------- 50
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "44.8 x + 336 ( 50 - x ) = 132.16 * 50
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "44.8x + 16800 - 336 x = 6608
\n" ); document.write( "44.8 x - 336 x = 6608 - 16800
\n" ); document.write( "-291.2 x = -10192
\n" ); document.write( "/ -291.2
\n" ); document.write( " x = 35 gallons corn syrup
\n" ); document.write( " 15 gallons maple syrup
