Let A and B bet the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BB=45\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"3A%2B7B=115\"
\n" ); document.write( "From eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2BB=45\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=45-B\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"3A%2B7B=115\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2845-B%29%2B7B=115\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"135-3B%2B7B=115%7D%7D%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B4B=-20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28+B=-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=45-B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=45-%28-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28+A=50%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
