\n" ); document.write( "1.\"B=A%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"A%2BB=56\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute eq. 1 into eq. 2 and solve for A.
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"A%2BB=56\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2B%28A%2B4%29=56\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2A=52\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=26\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then use eq.1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=A%2B4\"
