Let price of each burger be B
\n" );
document.write( "Then we get: 
\n" );
document.write( " ------- Multiplying by LCD, B(B - .5)
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( " --------- Multiplying by 2 to CLEAR DECIMAL
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "4B(4B - 7) + 5(4B - 7) = 0
\n" );
document.write( "4B - 7 = 0       OR    4B + 5 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "Cost of a burger, or         OR          \n" );
