\n" ); document.write( "a+b=65.....eq 1
\n" ); document.write( "a=4b.......eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "take the value of a, which is 4b, from eq 2 and plug it into eq 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4b+b=65
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5b=65
