A=Android
\n" ); document.write( "B=Blackberry
\n" ); document.write( "i=iphone\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Money wise:
\n" ); document.write( "i=595
\n" ); document.write( "A=195
\n" ); document.write( "B=150\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3 equations
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of phones
\n" ); document.write( "\"i%2BA%2BB=195\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"i=2A%2B2B\"
\n" ); document.write( "money equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"595i%2B195A%2B150B=88225\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so start with the first 2 equations
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282A%2B2B%29%2BA%2BB=195\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3A%2B3B=195\" lets solve for A
\n" ); document.write( "\"3A=195-3B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=65-B\"
\n" ); document.write( "now use third equation and use what i and A equal
\n" ); document.write( "\"595i%2B195A%2B150B=88225\" first replace (i)
\n" ); document.write( "\"595%282A%2B2B%29%2B195A%2B150B=88225\" now replace the (A)'s
\n" ); document.write( "\"595%282%2865-B%29%2B2B%29%2B195%2865-B%29%2B150B=88225\" now solve for B
\n" ); document.write( "\"595%28%28130-2B%29%2B2B%29%2B%2812675-195B%29%2B150B=88225\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"595%28130%29%2B12675-40B=88225\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"77350%2B12675-40B=88225\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"90025-40B=88225\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1800-40B=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1800=40B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%2845=B%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "now you have B plug into the A equation \"A=65-B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=65-45\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28A=20%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "now you have A and B plug into \"i=2A%2B2B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"i=2%2820%29%2B2%2845%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"i=40%2B90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28i=130%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "always check with last equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"i%2BA%2BB=195\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28130%29%2B%2820%29%2B%2845%29=195\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"195=195\" correct\r
