ONE EQUATION WITH TWO VARIABLES CANNOT BE UNIGUELY SOLVED BECAUSE
THERE ARE MANY DIFFERWENT COMBINATIONS OF VALUES FOR EACH VARIABLE.
EXAMPLE 3X+5Y=15 IF X=5 THEN Y=0 OR IF X=0 THEN Y=3
IF YOUR TRYING TO SOLVE FOR X OR Y THE
3X+5Y=15
3X=15-5Y
X=15/3-5Y/3
X=5-5Y/3
OR SOLVING FOR Y THEN
3X+5Y=15
5Y=15-3X
Y=15/5-3X/5
Y=3-3X/5
