Let n be the amount of ice cream needed. Then:
\n" ); document.write( "6n+3(150-n)=3.60(150)
\n" ); document.write( "3n+450=540
\n" ); document.write( "3n=90
\n" ); document.write( "n=30
\n" ); document.write( "The caterer needs 30 gallons of ice cream, and 120 gallons of punch. ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
