Units will be minutes and count of drawings or \"count\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2 hours is 120 minutes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = how many b&w
\n" ); document.write( "y = how many color\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Account for Drawings: \"x%2By=9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Account for Time: \"10x%2B25y=120\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the time account equation, dividing by 5.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B5y=24\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "System to Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=9
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2x+5y=24
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Elimination using 2 times the first equation: \"2x%2B2y=18\";
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract this from the second equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x%2B5y%29-%282x%2B2y%29=24-18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3y=6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=2%29\", which will lead to \"highlight%28x=7%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
