Let x- be the number of notebooks Tim bought in SN Store
\n" ); document.write( "y - be the number of notebooks Tim bought in Assorted Store\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tim spent 2.25x in SN Store and 2y in Assorted Store. He spent the same money on both stores therefore 2.25x=2y
\n" ); document.write( "There are total of 17 notebooks, therefore x+y=17\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now have two equations
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.25x=2y\" and
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=17\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let y=17-x
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.25x=2y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.25x=2%2817-x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.25x=34-2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4.25x=34\"
\n" ); document.write( "x=8
\n" ); document.write( "y=17-x
\n" ); document.write( "y=17-8
\n" ); document.write( "y=9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=8, y=9
\n" ); document.write( "He bought 8 in SN store and 9 in Assorted Store\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "God bless and stay safe.
