\n" ); document.write( "Adding equations (2) and (4) gives you a+b+c+d=13; comparing that to equation (1) gives you e=8. Then that with equation (5) gives you d=1.

\n" ); document.write( "Adding equations (2) and (5) gives you a+b+d+e=15; comparing that to equation (1) gives you c=6. Then that with equation (3) gives you b=4; and then that with equation (2) gives you a=2.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: a=2; b=4; c=6; d=1; e=8
