Let J = score of Julius
\n" ); document.write( " W = score of Wilt
\n" ); document.write( " K = score of Karem\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1st Equation
\n" ); document.write( " J = K - 5
\n" ); document.write( "2nd Equation
\n" ); document.write( " W = 2K + 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3rd Equation
\n" ); document.write( " W = J + 20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2nd Equation by 3rd Equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 0 = 2K + 1 - J - 20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since J = K -5 in Equation 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 0 = 2K + 1 -(K-5) -20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 0 = 2k + 1 - K + 5 -20
\n" ); document.write( " K = 14\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " W = 2(14) + 1
\n" ); document.write( " = 29\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " J = W-20
\n" ); document.write( " = 29 -20
\n" ); document.write( " = 9
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
