\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"2A=B%2B31\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=2A-31\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into the first equation,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2B%282A-31%29=50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3A=81\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28A=27%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"27%2BB=50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28B=23%29\"
