Let X be the number of touchdowns that Jake scored.
\n" ); document.write( "Let Y be the number of touchdowns that Jerome scored.

\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "There is a relationship between Jake and Jerome's touchdowns.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"Y=1%2B2X\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Together they scored,
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"X%2BY=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute eq. 1 into eq. 2 and solve for X.
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"X%2BY=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"X%2B%281%2B2X%29=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3X=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"X=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y=1%2B2X\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y=1%2B2%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y=11\"
\n" ); document.write( "Jake scored 5, Jerome scored 11.
