You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n nuts and r raisins;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2Br=120\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=120-r\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Or you can simply use r for how much raisins, and then 120-r is how much nuts. This then is using only a single variable, r.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Cost must be $\"120%2A8\"$ dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"12n%2B6r=120%2A8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12%28120-r%29%2B6r=120%2A8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Quick simplification,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28120-r%29%2Br=20%2A8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"240-2r%2Br=20%2A8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"240-r=20%2A8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"r=240-160\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28r=80%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28n=40%29\"$ \r
