You can put this solution on YOUR website!
L = $1.65 per pound
\n" ); document.write( "H = $1.90 per pound
\n" ); document.write( "T = $1.75 per pound
\n" ); document.write( "u = how much of the L
\n" ); document.write( "v = how much of the H
\n" ); document.write( "M = 100 pounds of mixture\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28Lu%2BHv%29%2FM=T\" and \"u%2Bv=M\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve these simultaneous equations for u and v, COMPLETELY in symbols. Once that is done and you have formulas for u and for v, THEN substitute the given values and evaluate u and v.
