Let one serving of scrambled eggs = $\"s\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Let one double beef whopper = $\"w\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+s+%2B+w+=+300+%2B+241+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+%2B+w+=+541+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+2s+%2B+3w+=+1257+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of (1) by $\"2\"$ , then
\n" ); document.write( "subtract (1) from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+2s+%2B+3w+=+1257+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+-2s+-+2w+=+-1082+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+w+=+175+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and, since
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+%2B+w+=+541+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+%2B+175+=+541+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+=+541+-+175+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+=+366+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "One serving of scrambled eggs has 366 mg cholesterol
