\n" ); document.write( "and 2 point shots be y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+y =54------------------------(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+2y =90-----------------------(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract (1) from (2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y=36
\n" ); document.write( "x=18 \n" ); document.write( "
