\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "W + S + H = 37
\n" ); document.write( "W = S + 2
\n" ); document.write( "H = W + 3
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute and solve for W
\n" ); document.write( "W + W-2 + W+3 = 37
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "3W = 36
\n" ); document.write( "W = 12 (# caught by Wayne)
\n" ); document.write( "S = W-2 = 10 (# caught by Stokely)
\n" ); document.write( "H = W+3 = 15 (# caught by Harrison)
