Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "2 movies + 5 games = 35......(1)
\n" ); document.write( "8 movies + 3 games = 38......(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (1) by 4
\n" ); document.write( "8 movies + 20 games = 140....(1)
\n" ); document.write( "8 movies + 3 games = 38......(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract (2) from (1)
\n" ); document.write( "..........17 games = 102
\n" ); document.write( "...........1 game = $6
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute game = $6 into (2)
\n" ); document.write( "8 movies + 3 games = 38......(2)
\n" ); document.write( "8 movies + 3(6) = 38
\n" ); document.write( "8 movies + 18 = 38
\n" ); document.write( "8 movies = 38 - 18
\n" ); document.write( "8 movies = 20
\n" ); document.write( "1 movie = 20/8
\n" ); document.write( "1 movie = $2.50
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
