Let x=number of regular orders sold;
\n" ); document.write( "$5.99x=receipts from regular orders
\n" ); document.write( "Then 134-x=number of jumbo orders sold;
\n" ); document.write( "$8.99(134-x)=receipts from jumbo orders\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we are told that :\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5.99x+8.99(134-x)=1024.66 get rid of parens ($ are understood)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5.99x+104.66-8.99x=1024.66 subtract 1204.66 from each side\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5.99x+1204.66-1204.66-8.99x=1024.66-1204.66 collect like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-3x=-180 divide both sides by -3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=60---------------------------------number of regular orders sold\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "134-x=134-60=74--------------------------number of jumbo orders sold\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CK\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "60*5.99+74*8.99=1024.66\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "359.40+665.26=1024.66
\n" ); document.write( "1024.66=1024.66\r
