Let A and B be the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2BB=50\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A-B=32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations together to get rid of B.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2BB%2BA-B=50%2B32\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A=82\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28+A=41%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now use either equation to solve for B.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2BB=50\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"41%2BB=50\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28B=9%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
