Write a system of linear equations in two variables having \"%22%28x%2Cy%29%22=%22%28-2%2C7%29%22\" as a solution set. (More than one system is possible.) Make sure that your system has two equations with two variables!

\r\n" );
document.write( "Make up any 2 numbers for the coefficients of x and y for the first\r\n" );
document.write( "equation, say \"-3\" and \"5\", so write \"-3x%2B5y=%22%22\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Make up any 2 numbers for the coefficients of x and y in the second\r\n" );
document.write( "equation, say \"7\" and \"-2\", so write \"7x-2y=%22%22\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we have the system with left sides only:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"system%28-3x%2B5y=%22%22%2C7x-2y=%22%22%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now we just substitute \"-2\" for \"x\" and \"7\" for \"y\"\r\n" );
document.write( "in each:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"-3x%2B5y=-3%28-2%29%2B5%287%29=6%2B35=41\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the first equation will be \"-3x%2B5y=41\" \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"7x-2y=7%28-2%29-2%287%29=-14-14=-28\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the second equation will be \"7x-2y=-28\" \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the final system is:\r\n" );
