Let \"+x+\" = pounds of chicken
\n" ); document.write( "salad he bought
\n" ); document.write( "\"+14+-+x+\" = pounds of tuna
\n" ); document.write( "salad he bought
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9x+%2B+6%2A%28+14+-+x+%29+=+111+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9x+%2B+84+-+6x+=+111+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3x+=+27+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is:
