L = Land
\n" ); document.write( "W = Water\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L%2BW=1\";
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=%283%2F5%29W\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The second equation rearranges to... not needed yet.
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for W.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F5%29W%2BW=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W%283%2F5%2B1%29=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W%288%2F5%29=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28W=5%2F8%29\", requiring that \"highlight%28L=3%2F8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
