x = bronze
\n" ); document.write( "y = silver
\n" ); document.write( "z = gold
\n" ); document.write( "x+y+z=29
\n" ); document.write( "y=z+1
\n" ); document.write( "z=x+5
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into the x+y+z equation
\n" ); document.write( "(z-5) + (z+1) + z = 29
\n" ); document.write( "3z -4 = 29
\n" ); document.write( "3z = 29 +4
\n" ); document.write( "3z = 33
\n" ); document.write( "z = 11 gold medals
\n" ); document.write( "y = 11+1=12 silver medals
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11-5 = 6 bronze medals
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "11+12+6=29
