$\"A%2BB=123\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A-B=53\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2BB%2BA-B=123%2B53\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A=176\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=88\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to solve for $\"B\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"88%2BB=123\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B=35\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
