x = amount Paul has
\n" ); document.write( "3x = amount Hilary has {Hillary has three times Paul}
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 4 = Jeff's amount {Jeff has 4 less than Hilary}
\n" ); document.write( "x + 5 = Jeff's amount {Jeff has 5 more than Paul}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x - 4 = x + 5 {Jeff's two amounts are equal to each other}
\n" ); document.write( "3x = x + 9 {added 4 to each side}
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 9 {subtracted x from each side}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4.5 {divided each side by 2}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x = 13.5 {substituted 4.5, in for x, into 3x}
\n" ); document.write( "x + 5 = 9.5 {substituted 4.5, in for x, into x + 5}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Paul has $4.50
\n" ); document.write( "Hilary has $13.50
\n" ); document.write( "Jeff has $9.50
