Probably a lot of ways to do this, Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "What is a 6 digit number
\n" ); document.write( "let the six digits be: a, b, c, d, e, f
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "in which the 1st digit is 1 more than the 3rd,
\n" ); document.write( "a = c + 1
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "c = a - 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the 2nd digit is 1 less than the 4th,
\n" ); document.write( "b = d - 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " the 5th digit is 1 less than the 3rd,
\n" ); document.write( "e = c - 1
\n" ); document.write( "replace c with (a-1)
\n" ); document.write( "e = a - 1 - 1
\n" ); document.write( "e = a - 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " and the 6th digit is 1 more than the 4th.
\n" ); document.write( "f = d + 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " The sum of the 2nd and 3rd digit equals the 1st.
\n" ); document.write( "b + c = a
\n" ); document.write( "replace b with (d-1)
\n" ); document.write( "d - 1 + c = a
\n" ); document.write( "replace c with (a-1)
\n" ); document.write( "d - 1 + a - 1 = a
\n" ); document.write( "d - 2 = a - a
\n" ); document.write( "d = 2
\n" ); document.write( "then we know f = d + 1, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "f = 2 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "f = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " The sum of all digits is 30.
\n" ); document.write( "a + b + c + d + e + f = 30
\n" ); document.write( "replace b+c with a and d with 2, replace f with 3
\n" ); document.write( "a + a + 2 + e + 3 = 30

\n" ); document.write( "a = 9
