X+Y=20 X BEING THE NUMBER OF $.37 & Y BEING THE $.20 STAMPS.
\n" ); document.write( "X=20-Y
\n" ); document.write( ".37X+.20Y=7.06
\n" ); document.write( ".37(20-Y)+.20Y=7.06
\n" ); document.write( "7.40-.37Y+.20Y=7.06
\n" ); document.write( "-.17Y=7.06-7.40
\n" ); document.write( "-.17Y=-.34
\n" ); document.write( "Y=-34/-17
\n" ); document.write( "Y=2 NUMBER OF $.20 STAMPS.
\n" ); document.write( "X+2=20
\n" ); document.write( "X=20-2
\n" ); document.write( "X=18 NUMBER OF $.37 STAMPS.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( ".37*18+.20*2=7.06
\n" ); document.write( "6.66+.40=7.06
