In laying out an article of 32,000 words, an editor decides to use two sizes of type. Using the larger type, a printed page contains 900 words. Using the smaller type, a page contains 1,400 words. The article is allotted 30 full pages in a magazine. How many pages must be in the smaller type?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Pages Equation: n + f = 30 pages
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Wods Equation:900n + 1400f = 32000
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify both equations:
\n" ); document.write( "9n + 14f = 320
\n" ); document.write( "9n + 9f = 9*30
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"f\":
\n" ); document.write( "5f = 50
\n" ); document.write( "f = 10 (number of 1400 word pages)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"n\":
\n" ); document.write( "n + f = 30
