document.write( "Let x be the measure of the common part.\r\n" );

document.write( "Then A received x dollars;\r\n" );

document.write( "and C received 3x dollars.\r\n" );

document.write( "So the three received x + 2x + 3x = 6x dollars, and this sum is 6000 dollars:\r\n" );

document.write( "6x = 6000 dollars.\r\n" );
