X+Y=350
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "X=350-Y
\n" ); document.write( ".80X+.60Y=230
\n" ); document.write( ".80(350-Y)+.60Y=230
\n" ); document.write( "280-.80Y+.60Y=230
\n" ); document.write( "-.20Y=230-280
\n" ); document.write( "-.20Y=-50
\n" ); document.write( "Y=-50/-.20
\n" ); document.write( "Y=250 CUPS OF $.60 COFFEE WAS SOLD.
\n" ); document.write( "X+250=350
\n" ); document.write( "X=350-250
\n" ); document.write( "X=100 CUPS OF $.80 COFFEE.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( ".80*100+.60*250=230
\n" ); document.write( "80+150=230
\n" ); document.write( "230=230
