In terms of units, with no numbers:
\n" ); document.write( "[ ounces ] = [ ounces/gallon ] x [ gallons/barrel ] x [ barrels ]
\n" ); document.write( "If you agree with this, just plug in letters and numbers
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+%28+128%2F1+%29%2A%28+42%2F1+%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+5376x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Note that if the units don't work out, then nothing can work out
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
