Let $\"+x+\"$ = the cost of the slacks
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+30+\"$ = the cost of the sweater
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+34+\"$ = the cost of the shoes
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+x+%2B+30+%2B+x+%2B+34+=+199+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+=+135+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+45+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
