\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%288p%2B6%2A40%29%2F14=20\"$ -----Equation representing situation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4p%2B6%2A20=14%2A10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4p%2B6%2A4%2A5=14%2A10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"p%2B30=7%2A5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"p=35-30=5\"$ \r
