Just set up a ratio
\n" ); document.write( "( cups ) / ( pints ) = ( cups ) / ( pints )
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+x+\"$ = number of cups in 7 pints
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+%2F+1+=+x+%2F+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A7+=+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+14+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "There are 14 cups in 7 pints
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
