Bunyan Farm sells 3 pound and 5 pound bags of onions. The Tuesday morning delivery consists of 25 bags weighing 99 pounds. How many bags are there of each size?
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity:: t + f = 25 bags
\n" ); document.write( "Weight::::3t +5f = 99 lbs
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "3t + 3f = 3*25
\n" ); document.write( "3t + 5f = 99
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"f\"::
\n" ); document.write( "2f = 24
\n" ); document.write( "f = 12 (# of 5 lb bags)
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"t\"::
\n" ); document.write( "t + 12 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "t = 13 (# of 3 lb bags)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
