You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $\"+x+\"$ = the total number of coins
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+%281%2F6%29%2Ax+%2B+%281%2F6%29%2Ax+%2B+%281%2F12%29%2Ax+%2B+7+=+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6x+%2B+2x+%2B+2x+%2B+x+%2B+84+=+12x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+11x+%2B+84+=+12x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+84+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "There are 84 coins
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F2%29%2A84+=+42+\"$ from England
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F6%29%2A84+=+14+\"$ from Switzerland
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F6%29%2A84+=+14+\"$ from France
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F12%29%2A84+=+7+\"$ from Italy
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7+\"$ from Spain
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+42+%2B+14+%2B+14+%2B+7+%2B+7+=+84+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
