\"D=2%2B5M\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%2BM=92\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2B5M%29%2BM=92\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6M%2B2=92\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6M=90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"M=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now that you know Mark has 15 marbles, use either equation to solve for D, the number of Don's marbles.
