\n" );
document.write( "Let x and (64-x)represent the two parts
\n" );
document.write( "Question States***
\n" );
document.write( " (2/3)x - 1/4(64-x)= 28  Multiplying each term by 12 so as all denominators = 1
\n" );
document.write( "  8x - 3*64 + 3x = 28*12
\n" );
document.write( "          11x = 528
\n" );
document.write( "            x = 48 , Other part is 16\r
