X+Y=90
\n" ); document.write( "X=Y-8 REPLACE X WITH (Y-8)
\n" ); document.write( "(Y-8)+Y=90
\n" ); document.write( "2Y=90-8
\n" ); document.write( "2Y=82
\n" ); document.write( "Y=82/2
\n" ); document.write( "Y=41 ANS.
\n" ); document.write( "X=41+8
\n" ); document.write( "X=49 ANS.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "41+49=90
\n" ); document.write( "90=90
\n" ); document.write( "
