Let $\"L\"$ be the amount of money Leo has, $\"K\"$ Karen, and $\"R\"$ Ress.
\n" ); document.write( "1. $\"L=K%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"K=15%2BR\"$
\n" ); document.write( "3. $\"L%2BK%2BR=59\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subsititute from 1 and 2 into eq. 3,
\n" ); document.write( "From 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=K%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=%2815%2BR%29%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=R%2B23\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2BK%2BR=59\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28R%2B23%29%2B%28R%2B15%29%2BR=59\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3R%2B38=59\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3R=21\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28R=7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now that you know $\"R\"$ work backwards.
\n" ); document.write( "From 2,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"K=15%2BR\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"K=15%2B7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28K=22%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=K%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=22%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28L=30%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
