Let's rewrite this problem as a math problem:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First group = 5x
\n" ); document.write( "Second group = x
\n" ); document.write( "Together the two groups contain 72 students\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x + x = 72
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 72
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 60\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two groups are 60 students and 12 students.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
