SM+J=100
\n" ); document.write( "J+SQ=104 SUBTRACTING EQ #2 FROM EQ#1 WE GET
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "SM-SQ=-4 ADDING THIS TO EQ #3 WE GET
\n" ); document.write( "SM+SQ=122
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "2SM=118 OR SM=59 THEN SQ=122-59 OR SQ=63 & J+63=104 OR J=41 & 59+41=100 100=100\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SM=59, SQ=63 & J=41.
