\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A store has candy worth $L a pound and candy worth $H a pound. if the owners want M pounds of candy worth $T a pound, how many pounds of each candy should they use?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let u = pounds of the L candy
\n" ); document.write( "Let v = pounds of the H candy
\n" ); document.write( "Understand \"L%3CT%3CH\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FORM EQUATIONS
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28Lu%2BHv%29%2FM=T\" and \"u%2Bv=M\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve the system for u and v, and then substitute the given quantity values to find the values of u and v.
