Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make single recording tapes = 'x'
\n" ); document.write( "Concert tapes = 'y'
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 25 ........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "699x + 1099y = 23075.....(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (1) by 699
\n" ); document.write( "699x + 699y = 17475.....(1)
\n" ); document.write( "699x + 1099y = 23075....(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract (1) from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "......400y = 5600
\n" ); document.write( ".........y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute y = 14 into (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 25 .......(1)
\n" ); document.write( "x + 14 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "x = 25 - 14
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11
\n" ); document.write( "11 x single recording tapes
\n" ); document.write( "14 x concert tapes
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
