boys to girls = 3/2
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3%2F2+=+12%2Fx+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+2x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3x+=+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+8+\" girls
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "2 boys are added
\n" ); document.write( "\"+12+%2B+2+=+14+\" boys
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The new ratio is:
\n" ); document.write( "boys to girls = \"+14%2F8+=+7%2F4+\"\r
