Let $\"+c+\"$ = number of cheeseburgers sold
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+h+\"$ = number of hamburgers sold
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+c+%2B+h+=+700+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+c+=+h+%2B+50+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+c+-+h+=+50+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now add (1) and (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+c+%2B+h+=+700+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+c+-+h+=+50+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2c+=+750+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+c+=+375+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+c+%2B+h+=+700+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+375+%2B+h+=+700+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+h+=+700+-+375+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+h+=+325+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "325 hamburgers were sold on tuesday
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "50 more cheeseburgers than hamburgers? yes
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+375+%2B+325+=+700+\"$ ? yes \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
