1.\"2x%2By=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"2x-y=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "Add eq. 1 to eq. 2 to get rid of y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x%2By%29%2B%282x-y%29=18%2B22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now go to either 1 or 2 and solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "I'll choose 1.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"2x%2By=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2810%29%2By=18\"
