Let $\"+x+\"$ = number of mangoes in the larger basket
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+1%2F5%29%2Ax+\"$ = number of mangoes in the smaller basket
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+%281%2F5%29%2Ax+=+90+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x+%2B+x+=+450+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6x+=+450+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+75+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "75 mangoes in the larger basket
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
