\"A=3B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A-B=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( "\"3B-B=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2B=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=3%2818%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=54\"
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming,
\n" ); document.write( "\"B-A=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"B-3B=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2B=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=-18\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=3%28-18%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=-54\"
\n" ); document.write( "So those are the two possibilities.
