You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"x\"= # of star scout
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"x+206\"=# of cub scouts
\n" ); document.write( "Then, $\"x%2Bx%2B206=1006\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=1006-206\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=800\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=400\"$ -----------------> # of star scouts
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B206=400%2B206=606\"$ -----> # of cub scouts
\n" ); document.write( "Total, # of star scouts + # of cub scouts =1006
\n" ); document.write( " $\"400%2B606=1006\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1006=1006\"$
