y=x+4
\n" ); document.write( "3x+y=16\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the y from the first equation into the second equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x+ (_____)= 16
\n" ); document.write( "3x + (x+4) = 16
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 4 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x=3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the x into the \"y=\" equation in order to find y:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y=x+4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3+ 4= 7\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check in the second equation:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+y=16
\n" ); document.write( "3(3) + 7= 16
\n" ); document.write( "9+7=16
\n" ); document.write( "It checks!\r
