\n" ); document.write( "L = Las Vegas' population\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "S + L = 2,687,000
\n" ); document.write( "S = L + 285,000\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the second equation into the first.\r
