The way the problem is stated is confusing to me, but I think
\n" ); document.write( "I know what is meant
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"s\"= subscription price
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"a\"= price of each article read over 25
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"s+%2B+3a+=+34.80\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"s+%2B+5a+=+40.70\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract (1) from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "\"2a+=+5.90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a+=+2.95\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute this in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"s+%2B+3a+=+34.80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+%2B+3%2A2.95+=+34.80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+34.80+-+8.85\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+25.95\"
\n" ); document.write( "a. The cost per archived article after the 1st 25 articles is $2.95
\n" ); document.write( "b. The cost of the magazine subscription is $25.95
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
