Let \"+a+\" = pints of 45% juice needed
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+b+\" = pints of 95% juice needed
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+.45a+%2B+.95b+=+160+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+160+%2F+%28+a+%2B+b+%29+=+.8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+45a+%2B+95b+=+16000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+9a+%2B+19b+=+3200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+.8a+%2B+.8b+=+160+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+8a+%2B+8b+=+1600+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+a+%2B+b+=+200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of (2) by \"+9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and subtract (2) for (1)
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+9a+%2B+19b+=+3200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+-9a+-+9b+=+-1800+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+10b+=+1400+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+140+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+a+%2B+b+=+200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+a+%2B+140+=+200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+a+=+60+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "60 pints of 45% juice are needed
\n" ); document.write( "140 pints of 95% juice are needed
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
