Let x = amount of $8 per pound tea; Then:
\n" ); document.write( "8(x)+3(130-x)=5(130)
\n" ); document.write( "8x+390-3x=650
\n" ); document.write( "5x=260
\n" ); document.write( "x=52
\n" ); document.write( "130-x=78
\n" ); document.write( "52 lbs. of $8 tea plus 78 lbs of $3 tea equals 130 lbs. of $5 tea!!!!! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
