document.write( "    |AE| = |EC|,   or   3x + y = 2x + y,\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    3x = 2x,   and then   x = 0.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  x= 0.   y can be any number (it can not be defined by an unique way from the given data).\r\n" );
