Three dozen eggs and five loaves of bread cost $6.90;
\n" ); document.write( "four dozen eggs and two loaves of bread cost $5.70.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the prices for a dozen eggs and for a loaf of bread
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "3e + 5v = 690 cents
\n" ); document.write( "4e + 2v = 570 cents
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "12e + 20v = 4*690
\n" ); document.write( "12e + 6v = 3*570
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"v\"::
\n" ); document.write( "14v = 1050
\n" ); document.write( "loaf price = 1050/14 = 75 cents
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"e\"
\n" ); document.write( "4e + 2v = 570
