\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28rt=2400%2C%28r%2B50%29%28t-2%29=1800%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Many algebraic steps needed in solving the system for r and t.
\n" ); document.write( "You would make a couple of different substitutions through the process.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Starting with the \"1800\" equation,
\n" ); document.write( "\"rt%2B50t-2r-100=1800\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use the first equation of the system to make substituion:
\n" ); document.write( "\"rt%2B50t-2r-100=1800\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2400%2B50t-2r-100=1800\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"50t-2r%2B500=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%2825t-r%2B250=0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now you will make another substitution using the \"2400\" equation either solved for r or solved for t...
