F = 2S First is twice the second
\n" ); document.write( "S = T + 6 Second is 6 inches longer than the third\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"Total+=+F+%2B+S+%2B+T\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"44+=+2%28T%2B6%29+%2B+%28T%2B6%29+%2B+T\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"44+=+2T+%2B+12+%2B+T+%2B+6+%2B+T\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"44+=+4T+%2B+18\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"26+=+4T+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6.5+=+T+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "S= 6.5+6 = 12.5
\n" ); document.write( "F = 2S = 25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Does 25+12.5+6.5 = 44?? \n" ); document.write( "
