y = 3x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "2x + y = - 8
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x - 8
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute to solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 2 = -2x -8
\n" ); document.write( "5x = -10
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into y = 3x+2 to solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3(-2) + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = -4
\n" ); document.write( "================
