We can write these facts using A and B like this
\n" ); document.write( "A = B - 180 and
\n" ); document.write( "A + B = 1520
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute the first into the second and get
\n" ); document.write( "B - 180 + B = 1520
\n" ); document.write( "2B = 1700
\n" ); document.write( "B = 850 feet
\n" ); document.write( "A is 180 less, or 670 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "
