You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+x+\" = the amount that each of the 8 people get
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+\" = the amount that each of the remaining 2 people get
\n" ); document.write( "\"+8x+%2B+2%2A2x+=+9000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+8x+%2B+4x+=+9000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+12x+=+9000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+750+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+=+1500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "You got the right answers
