Let B and D, be the original amounts Bob and Dave had, respectively
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: B – 8 = D + 8______D = B - 16 ------ eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "Also, ____2(B + 14) = 5D___2B + 28 = 5D ------- eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "2B + 28 = 5(B - 16) – 2B = 28 ------ Substituting B - 16 for D in eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "2B + 28 = 5B - 80
\n" );
document.write( "2B - 5B = - 80 - 28
\n" );
document.write( "- 3B = - 108
\n" );
document.write( "B, or Bob’s original amount =  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
