$\"x+%2B+y+=+25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+25+-+y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+=+2y+-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2825-y%29+=+2y+-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"75+-+3y+=+2y+-+5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"80+=+5y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16+=+y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then x = 25-16 = 9 \n" ); document.write( "
