You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two quantities of money: A and B.
\n" ); document.write( "From given, you can understand that \"A%2BB=48\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The first sentence literally means \"%282%2F5%29A=%282%2F3%29B\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You will have no trouble solving the system.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2F5=B%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3A=5B\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the system can be changed to
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28A%2BB=48%2C3A-5B=0%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try this:
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28-3A-3B=-144%2C3A-5B=0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "and ADD...
\n" ); document.write( "\"-8B=-144\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8B=144\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28B=18%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28A=30%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
