\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x-0.30x=39.20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0.70x=39.20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%2839.20%29%2F0.70\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
