H=9L
\n" ); document.write( "L=H/6-5,000
\n" ); document.write( "H=9(H/6-5,000)
\n" ); document.write( "H=9H/6-45,000
\n" ); document.write( "9H/6-H=45,000
\n" ); document.write( "H/2=45,000
\n" ); document.write( "H=90,000 COST OF THE HOUSE.
\n" ); document.write( "L=90,000/6-5,000
\n" ); document.write( "L=15,000-5,000
\n" ); document.write( "L=$10,000 COST OF THE LOT.
