Let \"w\" = number of weeks after he buys bread maker
\n" ); document.write( "Before he buys bread maker:
\n" ); document.write( "His cost = \"+3w+\"
\n" ); document.write( "After he buys bread maker:
\n" ); document.write( "His cost = \"+73+%2B+.71w+\"
\n" ); document.write( "I want to find:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3w+=+73+%2B+.71w+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2.29w+=+73+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+w+=+31.878+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.878%2A7+=+6.146+\"
\n" ); document.write( "It will take about 31 weeks and 6 days
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
