Use variables not names.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"Z=2A%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"L=A%2BZ%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "3.\"Z%2BL%2BA=100\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting 1 and 2 into eq. 3,
\n" ); document.write( "\"2A%2B5%2BA%2B%282A%2B5%29%2F3%2BA=100\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 3,
\n" ); document.write( "\"6A%2B15%2B3A%2B2A%2B5%2B3A=300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14A=280\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=20\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now use equations 1 and 3 to solve for Z and L.\r
