Let t = # of 2 cent stamps, and s = # six cent stamps.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> s = t-5, and 0.02t + 0.06s = 0.74.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> 0.02t + 0.06(t-5) = 0.74\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "<==> 0.02t + 0.06t - 0.3 = 0.74\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> 0.08t = 1.04\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> t = 13, the number of two-cent stamps, and
\n" ); document.write( "s = t-5 = 8, the number of six-cent stamps.
