You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There has to be a typo somewhere,
\n" ); document.write( "because the numbers in the problem
\n" ); document.write( "make the number of 15 cent stamps Floyd bought \"150%2F61=2%2628%2F61\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and it should be a whole number, like 2 or 3.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "This is how you would solve it:
\n" ); document.write( "LET \"x\" be the number of 15 cent stamps Floyd bought.
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B6\"= number of 10 cent stamps Floyd bought, and
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%28x%2B6%29\"= number of 10 cent stamps Floyd bought.
\n" ); document.write( "Calculating prices in cents.
\n" ); document.write( "\"15x%2B10%28x%2B6%29%2B12%283%28x%2B6%29%29=426\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15x%2B10%28x%2B6%29%2B12%283x%2B18%29=426\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15x%2B10x%2B60%2B36x%2B216=426\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"61x%2B276=426\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"61x=426-276\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"61x=150\"
\n" ); document.write( "There is no integer solution to that.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=150%2F61=2%2628%2F61\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
