3C+G=1.75 OR G=1.75-3C
\n" ); document.write( "2C+4G=2.00 NOW SUBSTITUTE (1.75-3C) FOR G IN THIS EQUATION & SOLVE FOR C.
\n" ); document.write( "2C+4(1.75-3C)=2.00
\n" ); document.write( "2C+6.00-12C=2.00
\n" ); document.write( "-10C=2.00-6.00
\n" ); document.write( "-10C=-4.00
\n" ); document.write( "C=-4.00/-10
\n" ); document.write( "C=.40 COST OF THE GUM.
\n" ); document.write( "3C+.40=1.75
\n" ); document.write( "3C=1.75-40
\n" ); document.write( "3C-1.35
\n" ); document.write( "C=1.35/3
\n" ); document.write( "C=.45 COST OF THE CHOCOLATE.
