Let us suppose that Alicia's Weekly Pay is $ x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then Jim's weekly pay becomes = 2/3 x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So now we can write a simple linear equation \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " x + 2/3 x = 600
\n" ); document.write( " x(1 + 2/3) = 600
\n" ); document.write( " x 5/3 = 600
\n" ); document.write( " x = 600 * 3/5
\n" ); document.write( " x = 1800/5 = 360\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore Alicia's Weekly pay is $ 360
\n" ); document.write( "and Jim's Weekly pay is 2/3 * 360 = $ 240\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope the solution is clear to you.\r
