Set up a equation
\n" ); document.write( "a equals amount won\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2a-30=162
\n" ); document.write( "Add 30 to each side\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2a=192\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then devide \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a=96. So they won 96 games\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Lets check\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If they won 96 games then they lost 66 games.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2(96)-30= \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "192-30= 162
\n" ); document.write( "So correct.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
