\n" ); document.write( "\"+2+\" pints yellow
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+x+\" = pints of yellow paint to be added
\n" ); document.write( "After the paint is added:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+2+%2B+x+%29+%2F+%28+4+%2B+x+%29+=+.8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2+%2B+x+=+.8%2A%28+4+%2B+x+%29+\"
