You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $\"+x+\"$ = distance from where musher is to Nome
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1049+-+x+\"$ = his distance to Anchorage
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1049+-+x+=+2x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+=+1049+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+349.667+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1049+-+349.667+=+699.333+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The musher has traveled 699 and 1/3 miles
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
