That's step one.
\n" ); document.write( "Now what about the product of the two numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=x%2Ay\"
\n" ); document.write( "But you already have an equation with x and y.
\n" ); document.write( "Use that equation to get y in terms of x and substitute into the product expression.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=96\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=96-x\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28P=x%2896-x%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
