You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+x+\" = amount he had at first
\n" ); document.write( "He had \"+x+-+682+\" after buying pendant
\n" ); document.write( "Then he spent 1/10 of that, so he had 9/10
\n" ); document.write( "left, so, he has left
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+9%2F10+%29%2A%28+x+-+682+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and you are told he has:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+9%2F10+%29%2A%28+x+-+682+%29+=+%28+3%2F7%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+70+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+63%2A%28+x+-+682+%29+=+30x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+63x+-+63%2A682+=+30x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+33x+=+63%2A682+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%2821%2F11+%29%2A682+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+21%2A62+\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can finish\r
