\n" ); document.write( "Substitute,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2B%28A-73%29=477\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A-73=477\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A=550\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for $\"A\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to solve for $\"S\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
