You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Jack=x Jill=y
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=+3y-5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=23\" so\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283y-5%29%2By=23\" in other words,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3y%2By=23-5\" if you simplify that, \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3y%2By=18\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=18\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4y%2F4=18%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=4.5\" I don’t think you wrote the problem correctly.
