Assign a variable to things you don't know:
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = cost of less expensive object
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x+6 = cost of other object
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+6 = 6.80
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6 = 6.80
\n" ); document.write( "2x = .80
\n" ); document.write( "x = .40
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The \"less expensive object\" is 40 cents.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
