document.write( "I keep asking every day: What are some of these people doing on here? They have no idea what they're doing and just fail to give these people correct answers. 
\n" );
document.write( "Besides, they make these simple problems so, so COMPLICATED, and yet end up with a WRONG ANSWER still. It's RIDICULOUS!\r

document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "This is how you solve this!
\n" );
document.write( "Let cost of each small bottle be S
\n" );
document.write( "The cost of each large bottle = S + 4
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 8(S + 4) = 12S - 24
\n" );
document.write( "8S - 12S = - 24 - 32
\n" );
document.write( " - 4S = - 56
\n" );
document.write( "

document.write( "Can it get ANY SIMPLER than this? \n" );
