Then \n" ); document.write( "d = w + 3 and \n" ); document.write( "2d = 6 + 2w \n" ); document.write( "There is a problem with the exercise because you can double the first equation and get the second. Therefore there are an infinite number of solutions. \n" ); document.write( "w=5 and d=8 \n" ); document.write( "w=20 and d=23 \n" ); document.write( "are two... \n" ); document.write( " |
