\n" ); document.write( "

Let the number of cars washed be C
\n" );
document.write( "Then number of vans washed = 44 - C
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 5C + 8(44 - C) = 262
\n" );
document.write( "5C + 352 - 8C = 262
\n" );
document.write( "5C - 8C = 262 - 352
\n" );
document.write( "- 3C = - 90
\n" );
document.write( "C, or number of cars washed = 
\n" );
document.write( "Number of vans washed:  \n" );
