Let's see...
\n" ); document.write( "Establish variables
\n" ); document.write( "x = $ at 4%
\n" ); document.write( "y = $ at 6%
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Given equation
\n" ); document.write( "x+y = 21000
\n" ); document.write( ".04x + .06y = 1020
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute
\n" ); document.write( ".04(21000-y) + .06y = 1020
\n" ); document.write( "840 - .04y + .06y = 1020
\n" ); document.write( "840 + .02y = 1020
\n" ); document.write( ".02y = 1020 - 840
\n" ); document.write( ".02y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28y+=+9000%29\" at 6%
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x + 9000 = 21000
\n" ); document.write( "x = 21000 - 9000 = \"highlight_green%28x=12000%29\" at 4%
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( ".04(12000) + .06(9000) = 480+540 = 1020
