You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equation $\"+P+%2B+T+=+120+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "is still true, so you can't change this.
\n" ); document.write( "The new information is $\"+T+=+9P+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "( lots more tomato seeds compared to pepper seeds )
\n" ); document.write( "Now I can say:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+P+%2B+9P+=+120+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10P+=+120+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+P+=+12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and, since
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+T+=+9P+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+T+=+9%2A12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+T+=+108+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You planted 12 pepper seeds and 108 tomato seeds \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
