document.write( "Okay. So first off, let's set up an equation; X will stand for the base.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "x+2x=192  So as you can see, the 2x stands for the height. Now combine like terms.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "3x=192    Now divide both sides by three<BR>\n" );
document.write( "x=62 (in) And that's the base! The height is 124 in, because it is twice the base.<BR>\n" );
