\n" );
document.write( "Let amount that September's bill was, be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then October's bill was: S - $2.32
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, we get: S + S - 2.32 = 119.56
\n" );
document.write( "2S - 2.32 = 119.56
\n" );
document.write( "2S = 119.56 + 2.32
\n" );
document.write( "2S = 121.88
\n" );
document.write( "S, or September's bill was: , or $
\n" );
document.write( "Amount each owed for September: , or about 
\n" );
document.write( "To be precise, 2 paid: , while 1 paid:  \n" );
