(LA TO TOKYO)+NY=8939
\n" ); document.write( "NY=(LA TO TOKYO)-2001
\n" ); document.write( "SUBSTITUTE: (LA TO TOKYO)-2001) FOR NY IN THE FIRST EQUATION.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(LA TO TOKYO)+(LA TO TOKYO)-2001=8939
\n" ); document.write( "2(LA TO TOKYO)-2001=8939
\n" ); document.write( "2(LA TO TOKYO)=8939+2001
\n" ); document.write( "2(LA TO TOKYO)=10,040
\n" ); document.write( "(LA TO TOKYO)=10,040/2
\n" ); document.write( "(LA TO TOKYO)=5020 ANS.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "5020+NY=8939
\n" ); document.write( "NY=8939-5020
\n" ); document.write( "NY=3919 ANS.
\n" ); document.write( "3919+5020=8939
