6m+5o= 9.20
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "3m+10o= 7.60 Multiply all sides times 2:
\n" ); document.write( "6m+20o= 15.20 Now subtract this from the first equation:
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "6m+5o= 9.20
\n" ); document.write( "- 6m+20o= 15.20
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "-15o= -6 Divide both sides by -15:
\n" ); document.write( "o= 0.40 each. And the mangos?
\n" ); document.write( "Maisha:
\n" ); document.write( "5 oranges at 0.40= 2.00
\n" ); document.write( "6 mangos: 9.20-2= 7.20; 7.20/6= 1.20 each If our answer is correct, we should get the same for Talida.
\n" ); document.write( "Talida:
\n" ); document.write( "10 oranges at 0.40= 4.00
\n" ); document.write( "3 mangos: 7.60-4= 3.60/3= 1.20 each
\n" ); document.write( "As you see, we have the correct answer. They both paid 0.40 per orange and 1.20 per mango. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
