small pumpkin x numbers , Price = $3.00
\n" ); document.write( "large pumkin y numbers , Price = $9.00
\n" ); document.write( " Total 345
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 310 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "3 x + 9 y = 1950 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -9
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-9 x -9 y = -2790
\n" ); document.write( "3 x 9 y = 1950
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-6 x = -840
\n" ); document.write( "/ -6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 140.00
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 310
\n" ); document.write( "140 + 1 y = 310
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = 310 -140
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = 170
\n" ); document.write( " y = 170.00
\n" ); document.write( "small pumpkin 140 numbers
\n" ); document.write( "large pumkin 170 numbers
