\n" ); document.write( "Let there are `x` quantities from supplier B,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then there are `x` + 472 quantities from supplier A\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we get x + x + 472 = 854
\n" ); document.write( " 2x = 854 - 472
\n" ); document.write( " 2 x = 382
\n" ); document.write( " x = 382/2
\n" ); document.write( " x = 191\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So 191 units are from supplier `B`.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
