x/2=3y or x=2*3y=6y
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=12
\n" ); document.write( "6y-y=12
\n" ); document.write( "5y=12
\n" ); document.write( "y=12/5
\n" ); document.write( "y=2.4 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "x=6*2.4
\n" ); document.write( "x=14.4 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "14.4/2=3*2.4
