\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "let x time spent on weight training
\n" ); document.write( "250-x=time spent on aerobics
\n" ); document.write( "x/(250-x)=3/2
\n" ); document.write( "2x=750-3x
\n" ); document.write( "5x=750
\n" ); document.write( "x=150 x
\n" ); document.write( "250-x=100
