\n" ); document.write( "7.5*c+7*a=1065
\n" ); document.write( "c=146-a
\n" ); document.write( "We have two equations with two variables.
\n" ); document.write( "We will substitute to make one equation with one variable
\n" ); document.write( "7.5*(146-a)+7*a=1065
\n" ); document.write( "1095.0-7.5a+7*a=1065
\n" ); document.write( "-0.5*a=-30.0
\n" ); document.write( "a=60.0
\n" ); document.write( "c=146-a
\n" ); document.write( "c=86 at $7.50 and a=60 at $7
