\"+84+-+24+=+60+\" oranges were not rotten
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+x+\" = the number of unripe oranges
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+18+\" = the number of ripe oranges
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+x+%2B+18+=+60+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+=+42+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+21+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+18+=+39+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of ripe to rotten to unripe is:
\n" ); document.write( "39:24:21\r
