The equation \"%280.10%29x+%2B+%280.30%29y+=+60\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "pens at \"30\" cents = > $\"0.30\"
\n" ); document.write( "pencils at \"10\" cents = > $\"0.10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) \"x\" represents pencils and \"y+\"represents pens \r
