\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+7+\"$ = the number that Pat has
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+7+%2B+8+\"$ = the number that Piper has
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+x+%2B+7+%2B+x+%2B+15+=+64+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+%2B+22+=+64+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+=+42+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+14+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Peg owns 14
