\n" ); document.write( "cinnamon based $12.57 ------ 47 - x pounds
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture $10.33 ---------------- 47
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "7.95 x + 12.57 ( 47 - x ) = 485.51
\n" ); document.write( "7.95 x + 590.79 - 12.57 x = 485.51
\n" ); document.write( "7.95 x - 12.57 x = 485.51 - -590.79
\n" ); document.write( "-4.62 x = -105.28
\n" ); document.write( "/ -4.62
