Let $\"+x+\"$ = amount earned for this job for apprentice
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+\"$ = amount earned for this job for journeyman
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2.5%2A3x+\"$ = amount earned for this job by master
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+3x+%2B+7.5x+=+8050+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+11.5x+=+8050+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+700+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+=+2100+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7.5x+=+5250+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
