Let \"+y+\" = the number of my marbles
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+y+=+44+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+44+-+x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "If I lose 1/4 of my marbles, then I have 3/4 left
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%283%2F4%29%2A%28+44+-+x+%29+=+33+-+%283%2F4%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose Nicole has 12 marbles, so \"+x=12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+44+-+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+32+\"
\n" ); document.write( "If I lose 1/4, then I lose 8 marbles,
\n" ); document.write( "so I have \"+32+-+8+=+24+\" left
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%283%2F4%29%2A%28+44+-+x+%29+=+33+-+%283%2F4%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24+=+33+-+%283%2F4%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24+=+33+-+%283%2F4%29%2A12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24+=+33+-+9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24+=+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
