B = 2/3A
\n" ); document.write( "A + B = 25
\n" ); document.write( "A + (2/3A) = 25
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F3\"A = 25
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply each side by \"3%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"75%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 15
\n" ); document.write( "The larger board is 15. The smaller board is \"2%2F3\" of that, or 10
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
