\n" ); document.write( "Over the last three evenings, Lisa received a total of 123 phone calls at the call center.
\n" ); document.write( "The second evening, she received 4 times as many calls as the third evening.
\n" ); document.write( "The first evening, she received 9 fewer calls than the third evening.
\n" ); document.write( "How many phone calls did she receive each evening?
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r

\r\n" );
document.write( "First evening + second evening + third evening = 123 phone calls\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " x-9          + 4x             + x            = 123\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "6x - 9 = 123  ====>  6x = 123 + 9 = 132  ====>  x =  = 22.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From this point, can you complete the solution on your own ?\r\n" );
