\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 8 notes
\n" ); document.write( "5x+10y= 55
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "x +2y = 11
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3 (# of #10 notes)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8-3 = 5 (# of #5 notes)
