Let
\n" ); document.write( "C=# of cars
\n" ); document.write( "V=# of vans\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "System of Equations
\n" ); document.write( "\"C%2BV=44\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5C%2B8V=262\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Elimination
\n" ); document.write( "manipulate 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2A%28C%2BV%29=5%2A%2844%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5C%2B5V=220\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"5C%2B8V=262\" - \"5C%2B5V=220\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3V=42\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V=14\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "input V into original equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"C%2B14=44\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "30 cars washed
\n" ); document.write( "14 vans washed
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
