\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"x\"$ = the full length of the pole
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F2+=+%283%2F7%29%2Ax\"$ meters
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%287%2F3%29%2A%285%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+35%2F6\"$ meters
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+5.833\"$ meters \n" ); document.write( "
