Brians tutoring income = 2*x
\n" ); document.write( "Brians pumping gasoline income = x
\n" ); document.write( "Brians WEEKLY income = $150+y
\n" ); document.write( "Sister's tutoring income = y
\n" ); document.write( "Also, Sister's tutoring income = \"y+=+%281%2F4%29%282x%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Analyzing those data seem to indicate relating Brian's weekly income with his sister's income.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Brians earns from pumping gas, x, and from tutoring, 2x. Their sum is this.
\n" ); document.write( "\"150%2By=x%2B2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=y%2B150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%283x-y=150%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We have a formula for y, his sister's income, so let us substitute this into \"3x-y=150\";
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-%28%281%2F4%29%282x%29%29=150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-x%2F2=150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283-1%2F2%29x=150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F2%29x=150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%282%2F5%29%2A150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=60%29\", which is Brian's incoming from pumping gasoline.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For his tutoring income, \"highlight%282%2Ax=120%29\" dollars tutoring.
\n" ); document.write( "
