A coffee stand sells a total of 90 large and medium coffees. Large coffees sold for 3.00 and medium sold for 2.00. How many large and medium coffees did the stand sell if a total of 210.00 was earned
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq: L + M = 90 cups
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq:: 3L + 2M = 210 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2M = 2*90
\n" ); document.write( "3L + 2M = 210
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"L\"::
\n" ); document.write( "L = 30 (# of large cups sold)
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"M\"::
\n" ); document.write( "30 + M = 90
\n" ); document.write( "M = 60 cups (# of medium cups sold)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
