\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "S + L = 6 notebooks
\n" ); document.write( "8S + 16L = 72 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify::
\n" ); document.write( "S + L = 6
\n" ); document.write( "S + 2L = 9
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract to get:
\n" ); document.write( "L = 3 (# of large notebooks bought)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "S = 6-3 = 3 (# of small notebooks bought)
