The fifth number plus the third number equals fourteen.
\n" ); document.write( "The fourth number is one more than the second number.
\n" ); document.write( "The first number is one less than twice the second number.
\n" ); document.write( "The second number plus the third number equals ten.
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of all five numbers is 30.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the numbers, in order, be a,b,c,d,e,f
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATIONS:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a +b + c +d +e +f = 30
\n" ); document.write( "0 +b + c = 10
\n" ); document.write( "a +2b = -1
\n" ); document.write( " -b +d = 1
\n" ); document.write( " c +e = 14
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: You need one more equation statement.
