Let \"+y+\" = the monthly fee
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+x+\" = the number of months of cable use
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "For Snyder Cable Co.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+60x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "For Butler Cable Co:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+100+%2B+40x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Set the monthly fees equal to each other
\n" ); document.write( "\"+60x+=+100+%2B+40x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+20x+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "After 5 months the fees are the same
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+60x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+60%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+300+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+100+%2B+40x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+100+%2B+40%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+300+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
