\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "v for gallons of Valentine Pink, m gallons of MacIntosh Red
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2812.5v%2B20m%29%2F10=17\" and \"v%2Bm=10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12.5v+20m=170
\n" ); document.write( "v+m=10 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "OR\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2.5v%2B4m=34\"
