\n" ); document.write( "

Let number of pumpkins and squashes sold, be P and S, respectively
\n" );
document.write( "The equations you want are: 
\n" );
document.write( "Use SUBSTITUTION to solve for P, the number of pumpkins
\n" );
document.write( "Substitute value for P in eq (ii) to get value for S: the number of squashes. \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
