You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You want to end up with an expression and not an
\n" ); document.write( "equation, but you can get there by saying:
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+C+\"$ = pounds of cashews needed
\n" ); document.write( "Then I can say:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+C+=+55+-+P+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The right side of the equation is the expression needed
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+55+-+P+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
