let fern be f and moss be m
\n" ); document.write( "m+f=201 and m=f+85
\n" ); document.write( "f+85+f=201
\n" ); document.write( "2f=201-85
\n" ); document.write( "2f=116
\n" ); document.write( "f=116/2
\n" ); document.write( "f=58
\n" ); document.write( "so the biologist was collected 58 fern samples.
