$\"A=5%2B2B\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2AB=18\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285%2B2B%29B=18\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2B%5E2%2B5B-18=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28B-2%29%282B%2B9%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B-2=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=18%2F2=9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2B%2B9=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2B=-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B=-9%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=18%2F%28-9%2F2%29=-4\"$ \r
