\n" ); document.write( "let \"D\" be democrats and \"R\" republicans\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In the 107th Congress, the US House of Representatives had a total of \"430+\" democrats and republicans; so, we have \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"D%2BR=430\"....1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There were \"10\" more republicans than democrats; so, we have \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"D%2B10=R\".........2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now, we are going to solve this system:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"D%2BR=430\"....1
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%2B10=R\".........2
\n" ); document.write( "______________________\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"D%2BR=430\"....1...solve for \"D\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"D=430-R\"...plug it in 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"430-R%2B10=R\".........2.solve for \"R\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"430%2B10=R%2BR\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"440=2R\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"440%2F2=R\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28220=R%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now find \"D\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"D=430-R\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"D=430-220\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28D=210%29\"\r
