Let the amounts that each person
\n" ); document.write( "receives = $\"+x+\"$ and $\"+1590+-+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2F3+=+x+%2F+%28+1590+-+x+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A%28+1590+-+x+%29+=+3x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3180+-+2x+=+3x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x+=+3180+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+636+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1590+-+x+=+954+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The people receive:
\n" ); document.write( "$636 and
\n" ); document.write( "$954
\n" ); document.write( "--------
