You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Put in another variable in
\n" ); document.write( "place of the question mark
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2F20+=+y%2F12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now multiply both sides by $\"+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+=+5y+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%283%2F5%29%2Ax+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "So, the proportion is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2F20+=+%28%283%2F5%29%2Ax%29+%2F+12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
