\r\n" );
document.write( "s + h = 117,   (\"s\" for sodas, \"h\" for hot-dogs)\r\n" );
document.write( "s - h =  59.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Add the two equations. You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2s = 117 + 59,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2s = 176  --->  s =  = 88.\r\n" );
