First Step.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-Isolate one variable for either equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-5x%2B3y=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3y=5x%2B8\" add 5x to both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%285x%2B8%29%2F3\" divide both sides by 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Second Step.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-Plug in isolated variable into second equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-9x+%2B+5%285x%2B8%29%2F3+=+14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-9x+%2B+%2825x+%2B+40%29%2F3+=+14\" \"foil\" or multiply the second term
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-27x%2B25x%2B40%29%2F3=14+\" use common denomenator of 3. multiply \"-9x%2A3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-2x%2B40%29%2F3+=+14+\" combine like terms and simplify\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x%2B40=42\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x+=+42-40\" subtract 40 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x+=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+-2%2F2\" divide both sides by -2 and simplify
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+1+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
