\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x = #$ Joshua has.\r\n" );
document.write( "Then Jason has (x-150) dollars, and\r\n" );
document.write( "     George has (x+70) dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In total, they have x + (x-150) + (x+70) = 3x -80.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, your equation is \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3x - 80 = 790.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3x = 790 + 80,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3x = 870,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x =  = 290.\r\n" );
