\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = one number
\n" ); document.write( "3x = other number {one number is three times another}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 3x = 60 {when they are added together, they equal 60}
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 60 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15 one number {divided both sides by 4}
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 45 other number {substituted 15 for x, into 3x}
