$\"x%2By+=+20\"$ so $\"x+=+20-y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+=+2y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2A%2820-y%29+=+2y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"60+-+3y+=+2y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"60+=+5y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12+=+y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then x = 20-12 = 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Does 3*8 = 2*12?
