(1) x+y=22
\n" ); document.write( "(2) 3x -y =6,,,,,,,x = smaller,,,y=larger
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "from (1) y=22-x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "subst into (2),,,3x -(22-x) = 6
\n" ); document.write( "3x -22+x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 22+6=28
\n" ); document.write( "x=7.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y=22-x = 22-7 = 15
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check,,,, (1) 7 + 15 = 22,,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( "(2) 3(7) - 15 = 6,,,,,ok
