document.write( "Let A invested x dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "Then B invested mx dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "C invested x + mx dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "D invested mx + (c+mx).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Still not enough info to make an equation and to solve for x.\r\n" );
