\n" ); document.write( "Candy type II 1.09 ------ 25 - x pounds
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 2.43 ---------------- 25
\n" ); document.write( " 25
\n" ); document.write( "3.32 x + 1.09 ( 25 - x ) = 60.75
\n" ); document.write( "3.32 x + 27.25 - 1.09 x = 60.75
\n" ); document.write( "3.32 x - 1.09 x = 60.75 - -27.25
\n" ); document.write( "2.23 x = 33.5
