\n" ); document.write( " $\"+75+%2B+x+=+60+%2B+2x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Each receives 15 game cards
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------

\n" ); document.write( "Manuel ends up with $\"+75+%2B+15+=+90+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+90+=+2%2A45+\"$
