The problem statement is incomlete. They give us two unknowns a and b which add to 90, but there is no second equation to relate a and b . The second equation
\n" ); document.write( "(1) a = 2*x + 2 introduces a third variable, thus we need a third equation to eliminate x.
\n" ); document.write( "As given we can find limits for x, a, and b as follows
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"0+%3C=+x+%3C=+44\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(3) $\"2+%3C=+a+%3C=+90+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(4) $\"88+%3E=+b+%3E=+0\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
