\n" ); document.write( "and you know that,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B=A%2B9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2B%28A%2B9%29=91\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A%2B9=91\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A=82\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for A, then use either equation to solve for B. \n" ); document.write( "
