A store sold 29 sweatshirts. White ones cost 9.95 and yellow ones cost $ 11.50
\n" ); document.write( "If 304.05 worth of sweatshirts were sold, how many of each were sold.
\n" ); document.write( "Let x= the number of white sweatshirts
\n" ); document.write( "Let y= the number of yellow sweatshirts
\n" ); document.write( "complete the system of equations x+y
\n" ); document.write( "$ x+y= $ 304.05
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: Your equation says (# of white)+(# of yellow) = value
\n" ); document.write( "You cannot have an equation that equates # of to value.
\n" ); document.write( "# of can only equal # of and value of can only equal value of
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Equation: x + y = 29
\n" ); document.write( "Value Equation::9.95x+11.50y = 304.05
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "995x + 995y = 995*29
\n" ); document.write( "995x + 1150y = 30405
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "155y = 1550
\n" ); document.write( "y = 10 (# of yellow shirts)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 29
\n" ); document.write( "x + 10 = 29
\n" ); document.write( "x = 19 (# of white shirts)
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
