Let \"+a+\" = number of kw-hrs for low range of monthly bills
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+b+\" = number of kw-hrs for high range of monthly bills
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9.44a+%2B+12.55+=+76.27+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9.44a+=+63.72+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+6.75+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9.44b+%2B+12.55+=+248.55+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9.44b+=+236+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The range of usage is:
