that's a good start
\n" ); document.write( "multiply the first by 15 to clear fractions
\n" ); document.write( "6A=10B
\n" ); document.write( "3A=5B. then A=(5/3) B, to bring a fraction back which can be more easily substituted.
\n" ); document.write( "A+B=4800
\n" ); document.write( "(5/3)B+B=4800. (5/3)+B is (5/3)B+(3/3)B, common denominator. They add to (8/3)B
\n" ); document.write( "(8/3)B=4800
\n" ); document.write( "B=4800*3/8=$1800
\n" ); document.write( "A=$3000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2/5 s of A is $1200
\n" ); document.write( "2/3s of B is $1200
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
