2x/5=r
\n" ); document.write( "r-20=(x-20)/3
\n" ); document.write( "2x/5-20=(x-20)/3
\n" ); document.write( "6x/5-60=5/5x-20
\n" ); document.write( "x/5=40
\n" ); document.write( "x=200 total apples
\n" ); document.write( "2/5*200=80 red apples\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "80-20=60 red apples remain
\n" ); document.write( "200-20=180 apples left in the crate
\n" ); document.write( "60/180=1/3\r
