(1)
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+x+\" = the number of dachshunds registered
\n" ); document.write( "(2)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3x+\" = the number of labradors registered
\n" ); document.write( "(3)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+3x+=+200000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(4)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4x+=+200000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+200000+%2F+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+50000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(5)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3x+=+3%2A50000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3x+=+150000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "From step (3),
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+3x+=+200000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+50000+%2B+150000+=+200000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+200000+=+200000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
