Let $\"+x+\"$ = ounces of ink in jar 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+\"$ = ounces of ink in jar 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A%282x%29+=+4x+\"$ = ounces of ink in jar 3
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+2x+%2B+4x+=+154+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7x+=+154+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+22+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+=+44+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4x+=+88+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Jar 1 has 22 ounces
\n" ); document.write( "Jar 2 has 44 ounces
\n" ); document.write( "Jar 3 has 88 ounces
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+2x+%2B+4x+=+154+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+22+%2B+44+%2B+88+=+154+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+154+=+154+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
