You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = what donna paid.
\n" ); document.write( "y = what pat paid.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 450
\n" ); document.write( "x = y + 110
\n" ); document.write( "replace x with y + 110 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y + 110 + y = 450
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms to get 2y + 110 = 450
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 110 from both sides of the equation to get 2y = 340
\n" ); document.write( "solve for y to get y = 170
\n" ); document.write( "x = 170 + 110 = 280
\n" ); document.write( "280 + 170 = 450.
\n" ); document.write( "solution is confirmed to be good.
\n" ); document.write( "solution is donna paid 280 and pat paid 170.
\n" ); document.write( "here is the solution graphically.
