Let $\"+c+\"$ = the cost to build 1 chair
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3c+\"$ = the cost to build a table
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+336+=+3c+%2B+c+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4c+=+336+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+c+=+84+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3c+=+252+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "One table costs $252 to build
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+336+=+252+%2B+84+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+336+=+336+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
