1.\"3S%2BM=825\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"S%2B2M=525\"
\n" ); document.write( "From eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"6S%2B2M=1650\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now subtract eq. 2 from this to eliminate M.
\n" ); document.write( "\"6S%2B2M-S-2M=1650-525\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5S=1125\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"S=225\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"225%2B2M=525\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2M=300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"M=150\"
\n" ); document.write( "Milkshakes are $1.50 and sausage sandwiches are $2.25.\r
