\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Let \"x\" be the number of pounds of almonds.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Let \"100-x\" be the number of pounds of walnuts since we have a 100-pound mixture.
\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Let \"6.60x\" be the dollar value of almonds.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Let \"5.60%28100-x%29\" be the dollar value of walnuts.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. Let \"6.60x%2B5.60%28100-x%29=6.03%2A100\" for a one-hundred pound mixture.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. Solve the equation \"6.60x%2B5.60%28100-x%29=6.03%2A100\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6.60x%2B560+-+5.60x=603\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"6.60x+-+5.60x=603-560\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=43\" -> the number of pounds of almonds\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"100-x=100-43=57\" -> the number of pounds of walnuts \r
