document.write( "Let x be the total number of the stickers.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then Andrew has ;  Blaze has    and Cadmus has 20 stickers.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "With it, write the equation for the total\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     +  + 20 = x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To solve it, multiply both sides by 5\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x + (x+50) + 100 = 5x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Simplify and find x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    50 + 100 = 5x - x - x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "      150    =     3x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        x    =     150/3 = 50.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  In all, there were 50 stickers.\r\n" );
