x is successful shots
\n" ); document.write( "y is missed shots
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=20 : rearrange as x = 20-y
\n" ); document.write( "10x-15y=100
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "10(20-y)-15y = 100
\n" ); document.write( "200 - 10y - 15y = 100
\n" ); document.write( "-10y-15y = 100 - 200
\n" ); document.write( "-25y = -100
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "...
