Let C stand for cellphone providers, and T stand for TV providers.
\n" ); document.write( "C + T = 70,093
\n" ); document.write( "T = C-4861
\n" ); document.write( "Take the value of T from the bottom equation and put it into the top equation.
\n" ); document.write( "C + T = 70,093
\n" ); document.write( "C + (C-4861) = 70,093
\n" ); document.write( "Add
\n" ); document.write( "2C - 4861 = 70,093
\n" ); document.write( "Add 4861 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "2C = 74,954
\n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 2
\n" ); document.write( "C = 37,477
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If C = 37,477, then T = 37,477-4861, or 32,616.
\n" ); document.write( "Prove it by adding them together.
\n" ); document.write( "37,477 + 32,616 = 70,093
\n" ); document.write( "Success! \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
