1.\"4x%2B2y=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"y=-2x%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute eq. 2 into eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"4x%2B2y=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B2%28-2x%2B4%29=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x-4x%2B8=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "A result like this tells us that eq. 1 and eq. 2 are the same line.
\n" ); document.write( "There are an infinite number of solutions, that is all the points on the line, \"y=-2x%2B4\" solve both eq. 1 and 2.
