You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = total number of students

\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29+%2A+x+%2B+12+=+x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+12+=+x+-+%28%282%2F3%29+%2A+x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+12+=+%281%2F3%29+%2A+x+\"

\n" ); document.write( "multiply both side by 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"+12+%2A+3+=+%281%2F3%29+%2A+x+%2A+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "36 = x and bob's your uncle!
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
