Let s be the amount invested in stocks; then the amount invested in bonds is 20000-s. So:
\n" ); document.write( "20000-s=(s/2)+2000
\n" ); document.write( "40000-2s=s+4000
\n" ); document.write( "3s=36000
\n" ); document.write( "s=12000 invested in stocks
\n" ); document.write( "20000-s=8000 invested in bonds. ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
