\r\n" );
document.write( "Let E be be the number of the eBay shares.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the number of the Amazon shares is (E+20).\r\n" );

document.write( "Pho' stock portfolio was worth $2886.60.  It gives you an equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    30.82*E + 38.84*(E + 20) = 2866.60.\r\n" );
