Let $\"+x+\"$ = the power of the smaller turbine
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+\"$ = the power of the larger turbine
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+2x+=+57+\"$ kw
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+=+57+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+19+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+=+38+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The smaller one generates 19 kw
\n" ); document.write( "The larger one gnerates 38 kw
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+2x+=+57+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+19+%2B+38+=+57+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+57+=+57+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
