Let $\"+x+\"$ = total amount spent on his vacation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F3%29%2Ax+\"$ for travel
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%282%2F5%29%2Ax+\"$ for lodging
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F3%29%2Ax+%2B+%282%2F5%29%2Ax+=+1100+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x+%2B+3x+=+16500+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8x+=+16500+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+2062.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "He spent $2,062.50 on vacation \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
