Let \"+x+\" = number of videos to be rented
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+C+\" = cost of renting videos
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "For non-members:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+4x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "For members:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+21+%2B+2.5x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Set the cost equal to each other
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4x+=+21+%2B+2.5x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.5x+=+21+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "When 14 videos are rented, the costs are the same
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
