NEXT YEAR, \"b%2B1=%28c%2B1%29-%28x-2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Present ages, \"b%2Bc%2Bx=70\"
\n" ); document.write( "and \"c%3Eb\" and \"c%3Ex\".\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b%2B1=c-x%2B3\"

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplified, this system: \"system%28b%2Bc%2Bx=70%2Cb-c%2Bx=2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If try E1-E2, then \"2c=68\", and then \"highlight%28c=34%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "From this, the best you know is that \"b%2Bx=34\".
