You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let h = no. ham sandwiches
\n" ); document.write( "let p = no. of other sandwiches
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"Joe bought 100 sandwiches.\"
\n" ); document.write( "h + p = 100
\n" ); document.write( "\" He paid $1.25 each for the ham sandwiches and $.95 for the pb&j sandwiches. the total bill was $109.80\"
\n" ); document.write( "1.25h + .95p = 109.8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using substitution, change the 1st equation to
\n" ); document.write( "p = (100-h), replace p in the 2nd equation \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
