What is the answer to: Seperate 92 into two parts, one of which is 1/3 of the other.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 1 part
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(92-x) = the other part
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"1%2F3\"$ (92-x)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 3, results
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 92 - x
\n" ); document.write( "3x + x = 92
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 92
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"92%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = 23 is one part
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "92 - 23 = 69
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check $\"23%2F69\"$ = $\"1%2F3\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
