You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the setup is direct:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%0D%0A%28151-x++%29%2F%28+181-x+%29=3%2F4%0D%0A\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we'll solve as a proportion:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%0D%0A4%28151-x++%29=3%28+181-x+%29%0D%0A\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%0D%0A4%28151%29-4x++=3%28+181%29-3x%0D%0A\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%0D%0A4%28151%29-3%28+181%29+=4x+-3x%0D%0A\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which simplifies to x=61\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ":) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
