Let \"+a+\" = area of Sahara desert
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+b+\" = area of Australian desert
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+a+%2B+b+=+13+\" million km2
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+a+=+b+%2B+5+\" million km2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+b+=+13+-+a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+a+=+b+%2B+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------\r
