Looks like they want you to use only
\n" ); document.write( "the single variable, $\"+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+\"$ = Darius' age now
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+87+\"$ = Jack's age now
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+87+-+11+=+4%2A%28+x+-+11+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+76+=+4x+-+44+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+=+120+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+40+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Darius is 40 now
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+87+-+11+=+4%2A%28+x+-+11+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40+%2B+87+-+11+=+4%2A%28+40+-+11+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+116+=+4%2A29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+116+=+116+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
