\n" ); document.write( "The space occupied by character 2 takes 5 units more than character 1, character 3 takes 7 units less than the character 2,
\n" ); document.write( "and character 4 takes the same space as that taken by character 2.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the total space occupied by all the characters in an algebraic expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=============
\n" ); document.write( "Let char 1 take x units
\n" ); document.write( "Then char 2 takes x+5 units
\n" ); document.write( "And char 3 takes x+5-7 = x-2 units
\n" ); document.write( "And char 4 takes x+5
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Adding you get 4x+8 units
\n" ); document.write( "=============
