Find x and y.

y=x+4 or -x+y=4
3x-2y = -7

Solving yields the following steps:

Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++-1%5Cx+%2B+1%5Cy+=+4%2C%0D%0A++++3%5Cx+%2B+-2%5Cy+=+-7+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving 1*y to the right, we get:
-1%2Ax+=+4+-+1%2Ay, or x+=+4%2F-1+-+1%2Ay%2F-1. Substitute that
into another equation:
3%2A%284%2F-1+-+1%2Ay%2F-1%29+%2B+-2%5Cy+=+-7 and simplify: Error: 'Can't call method "invoke_solver" on an undefined value at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Solver/PerlSolver.pm line 115.
