Equation 1: \"A+%2B+2B+=+14\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \"A+-+B+=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve one of the equations for one of the variables.
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \"A+-+B+=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+2+%2B+B\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now plug (2 + B) into equation 1 for A
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 1: \"A+%2B+2B+=+14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2BB%29+%2B+2B+=+14\"
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "\"2+%2B+3B+=+14\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"3B+=+12\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28B+=+4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for A, using 4 for B.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+2+%2B+B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+2+%2B+%284%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28A+=+6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
