5x+12y=61
\n" ); document.write( "10x+13y=89
\n" ); document.write( "-10x-24y=-122, multiplying the first equation by -2
\n" ); document.write( "-11y=-33
\n" ); document.write( "y=3 gms for toffee
\n" ); document.write( "then x=5 gms, checking in equation 1
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "see if they work in the second equation.
\n" ); document.write( "They do
\n" ); document.write( "Lollipop is 5 gm
\n" ); document.write( "Toffee is 3 gm
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
