A + B = 32
\n" ); document.write( "A = 5B -4
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the known value of A from the second equation into the first.
\n" ); document.write( "5B-4 + B = 32
\n" ); document.write( "6B - 4 = 32
\n" ); document.write( "Add 4 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "6B = 36
\n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 6
\n" ); document.write( "B = 6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If B is 6, then A is 32-6, or 26.
