\n" ); document.write( "Pecan DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = 15 lbs ; Value is 1.55*15 = 23.25 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Walnut DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = x lbs ; value is 1.95x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = 15+x lbs ; value = 1.75(15+x) = 26.25 + 1.75x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = value
\n" ); document.write( "23.25 + 1.95x = 26.25+1.5x
\n" ); document.write( "0.45x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 2/3 lbs (amount of walnuts tht must be added to make the mix)
