\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "# of 12-in balls is \"80-x\" ; value = 4(80-x)=320-4x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "3.5x +320-4x = 305
\n" ); document.write( "-0.5x = -15
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30 (# of 11-in. balls)
\n" ); document.write( "80-x = 50 (# of 12-in balls)
