\n" ); document.write( "t = 2a-7
\n" ); document.write( "c = a+6
\n" ); document.write( "t + a + c = 95
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for t and c and solve for \"a\":
\n" ); document.write( "(2a-7)+ a +(a+6) = 95
\n" ); document.write( "4a-1 = 95
\n" ); document.write( "4a = 96
\n" ); document.write( "a = 24 andy's marbles
