x, capacity of the CD
\n" ); document.write( "y, capacity of one thumb drive\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"system%284y%2Bx=9%2C5y-x=9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Reading carefully and clear thinking are important in forming these equations.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The system is perfectly ready for elimination of x, using adding corresponding members.
\n" ); document.write( "\"9y=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=2%29\"------One thumb drive is 2 gigabytes.
\n" ); document.write( "
