It isn't stated exactly, but there must be a fixed
\n" ); document.write( "number of oranges that are being shared.
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+c+\" = the number of children
\n" ); document.write( "With each one getting 9 oranges, there are
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9c+\" oranges in all.
\n" ); document.write( "and If each child gets 6 oranges, there are
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6c+%2B+18+\" oranges in all.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In both cases, the number of oranges hasn't
\n" ); document.write( "changed, so
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9c+=+6c+%2B+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3c+=+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c+=+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "There are 6 children
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "If each gets 9 oranges, that is \"+6%2A9+=+54+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If each gets 6 with 18 left over, that is
\n" ); document.write( "\"++6%2A6+%2B+18+=+36+%2B+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+36+%2B+18+=+54+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
