\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "j + c + n = 249 points
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "j = c+20
\n" ); document.write( "2n = c + j + 6
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify by substituting:
\n" ); document.write( "2n = c + c+20 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "2n = 2c + 26
\n" ); document.write( "n = c + 13
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for j and n and solve for \"c\":
\n" ); document.write( "c+20 + c+13 + c = 249
\n" ); document.write( "3c + 33 = 249
\n" ); document.write( "3c = 216
\n" ); document.write( "c = 72 (# of points Chris has)
\n" ); document.write( "j = c + 20 = 92 (# of points jess has)
\n" ); document.write( "n = c + 13 = 85 (# of points nick has)
