p, a number;\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"21p-102\";\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"21p-102=p%2A11%2B8\", but be aware your description is ambiguous. You should show your interpretation of the description since it may be just as good as mine, but different and give a different result. \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to solve:
\n" ); document.write( "\"21p-102-11p=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"21p-11p=8%2B102\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10p=110\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"p=11\"--------------you must have taken the meaning to be what I did.
