document.write( "The two equations are \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2T + 3C = 200,\r\n" );
document.write( "3T + 2C = 250.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now add the two equations (both sides). You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5T + 5C = 450.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now cancel the factor 5 in  both sides. You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "T + C = 90.\r\n" );
