K-Derek
\n" ); document.write( "S-Davis
\n" ); document.write( "E-Chance
\n" ); document.write( " $\"K=E%2B13\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S=E-32\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"K%2BS%2BE=392\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"E%2B13%2BE-32%2BE=392\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3E-19=392\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3E=411\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"E=137\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"K=137%2B13\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"K=150\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S=137-32\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S=105\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
