1.\"A%2BC=200\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"9A%2B5C=1420\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply eq. 1 by 5 and subtract from eq. 2 to eliminate C.
\n" ); document.write( "\"9A%2B5C-5A-5C=1420-1000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4A=420\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for A then use either equation to solve for C.\r
