Let $\"+x+\"$ = fraction of stock
\n" ); document.write( "neither owned by Alberto nor Renetta
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5%2F9+\"$ = Alberto's fraction
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%285%2F9%29%2A%281%2F2%29+=+5%2F18+\"$ = Renetta's fraction
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5%2F9+%2B+5%2F18+%2B+x+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10%2F18+%2B+5%2F18+%2B+x+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+1+-+15%2F18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+3%2F18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+1%2F6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "1/6 of the stock is neither owned
\n" ); document.write( "by Alberto nor Renetta \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
