\n" ); document.write( "Another bizarre solution from tutor @Mananth....!

\n" ); document.write( "using two variables to complicate the solution when only one variable is needed
\n" ); document.write( "expressing whole numbers using 2 decimal places
\n" ); document.write( "using a very roundabout path to the solution when there are much easier ones....

\n" ); document.write( "let x = # dollars Rin has
\n" ); document.write( "then x+450 = # dollars Tim has

\n" ); document.write( "After Tim spends $60, the number of dollars he has is 7 times the number Rin has:

\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B450%29-60+=+7x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B390+=+7x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"390+=+6x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+65\"

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER:
\n" ); document.write( "Amount Rin has: x = $65
\n" ); document.write( "Amount Tim has: x+450 = 515

\n" ); document.write( "
