(i) \"a+%2B+c+=+64\"
\n" ); document.write( "(ii) \"3a+=+c\"
\n" ); document.write( "by substitution, we get
\n" ); document.write( "(iii) \"3a+%2B+a+=+64\"
\n" ); document.write( "we get
\n" ); document.write( "(iv) \"4a+=+64%7D%7D+dividing%2C+we+get%0D%0A%28v%29+%7B%7B%7Ba+=+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+48\"
\n" ); document.write( "
