You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3X-Y=5
\n" ); document.write( "2X+Y=5
\n" ); document.write( "You can solve this several ways. One is by elimination, which is how I will solve it;
\n" ); document.write( "You add the equations together to eliminate one variable;
\n" ); document.write( "3x-y=5
\n" ); document.write( "2x+y=5
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "5x =10
\n" ); document.write( "New equation;
\n" ); document.write( "5x=10
\n" ); document.write( "divde each side by 5;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x%2F5\"$ = $\"10%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x=2
\n" ); document.write( "Now that we have what x=, plug that into the equation to find y;
\n" ); document.write( "3(2)-y=5
\n" ); document.write( "6-y=5
\n" ); document.write( "-y=5-6
\n" ); document.write( "-y=-1
\n" ); document.write( "y=1
\n" ); document.write( "So we have;
\n" ); document.write( "x=2
\n" ); document.write( "y=1
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
