\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2B-4A=-28\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"B-2A=-14\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add eq. 1 and eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A-B%2BB-2A=4-14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-A=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28A=10%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10-B=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28B=6%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
