document.write( "After reading the problem, we write this\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   H + L + D = 122  dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then we replace L with H/2 and replace D with (H-3) - - - the reasons why we do it are clear.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the equation takes form\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    H + H/2 + (H-3) = 122.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Next you multiply everything by 2 and simplify step by step\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    2H + H + 2H - 6 = 244\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "         5H         = 250\r\n" );
