x, pencil price in dollars
\n" ); document.write( "y, pen cost in dollars
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=x%2B0.25\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then the counted items with cost, \"4y%2B5x=3.70\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simply substitute for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%28x%2B0.25%29%2B5x=3.7\"
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and solve.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B1%2B5x=3.7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9x%2B1=3.7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9x=3.6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=3.6%2F9=4%2A9%2F%289%2A10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=2%2F5%29\" in dollars, being 40 cents for one pencil.
\n" ); document.write( "
