1. $\"A%2BC=9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2 $\"8A%2B3.5C=54\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=9-C\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%289-C%29%2B3.5C=54\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"72-8C%2B3.5C=54\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4.5C=-18\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for C then use either equation to solve for A.
