Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make what Donny spent = x
\n" ); document.write( "Dina spent 2x - 21
\n" ); document.write( "Together they spent $99
\n" ); document.write( "x + (2x - 21) = $99
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x - 21 = $99
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 99 + 21
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 120
\n" ); document.write( "x = 40.
\n" ); document.write( "Donny spent $40
\n" ); document.write( "Dina spent $59
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
