Equation 1: \"A+%2B+B+=+63\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \"5A+=+4B\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve one of the equations for one of the variables.
\n" ); document.write( "I will solve equation 2 for A by dividing both sides by 5.
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \"5A+=+4B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%284%2F5%29B\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now plug (4/5)B into equation 1 for A.
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 1: \"A+%2B+B+=+63\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2F5%29B+%2B+B+=+63\"
\n" ); document.write( "B by itself can also be written as 1B or (5/5)B. They are all equal.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2F5%29B+%2B+%285%2F5%29B+=+63\"
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%289%2F5%29B+=+63\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5/9
\n" ); document.write( "\"cross%28%285%2F9%29%2A%289%2F5%29%29%2AB+=+63%2A%285%2F9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28B+=+35%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for A.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%284%2F5%29B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%284%2F5%29%2A35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28A+=+28%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
