Let \"+x+\" = one person's spending
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%281%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+5+\" = the other person's spending
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+%281%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+5+=+60.26+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+%2B+x+%2B+10+=+120.52+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3x+=+110.52+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+36.84+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+60.26+-+36.84+=+23.42+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "They each spent:
\n" ); document.write( "$23.42
\n" ); document.write( "$36.83
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%281%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+5+=+23.42+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+10+=+46.84+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+36.83+%2B+10+=+46.84+\"
\n" ); document.write( "I'm off by 1 cent
\n" ); document.write( "Can you see why?
\n" ); document.write( "I'm out of time
\n" ); document.write( "
