\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".40*x + .80*10 = .60*(10+x)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".4x +8 = 6 + .6x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2=.2x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "10=x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( ".4*10 +.8*10 = .6 *(10+10)=12,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ".
