3J + 2S = 77.65 multiply all times 3
\n" ); document.write( "2J + 3S = 73.80 multiply all times -2 and add
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "9J + 6S = 232.95
\n" ); document.write( "+
\n" ); document.write( "-4J - 6S = -147.60
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "5J + 0S = 85.35
\n" ); document.write( "J = 17.07 this is the price of a ticket in Japan
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "Using the second original equation (you can use either one), let's find the cost of a ticket in Switzerland:
\n" ); document.write( "2J + 3S = 73.80
\n" ); document.write( "2(17.07) + 3S = 73.80
\n" ); document.write( "34.14 + 3S = 73.80
\n" ); document.write( "3S = 39.66
\n" ); document.write( "S = 13.22 this is the cost of a ticket in Switzerland
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "3(17.07) + 2(13.22) = 77.80 Correct
\n" ); document.write( "2(17.07) + 3(13.22) = 73.80 Correct
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
