Name your variables.
\n" ); document.write( "\"M%2BW=165\" \"group of 165 men and women\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"M=W%281%2B20%2F100%29\"\"20% more men than women\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"M=%28120%2F100%29W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"M=%286%2F5%29W\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into your first equation and solve for W.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%286%2F5%29W%2BW=165\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%286%2F5%29W%2B%285%2F5%29W=165\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2811%2F5%29W=165\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=%285%2F11%29165\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"W\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to solve for \"M\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
