You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For y=x-3 and 4x+y=1, you would substitute the answer for y in the second equation.
\n" ); document.write( "4x+y=1--original equation
\n" ); document.write( "4x+x-3=1--substitute y in for x
\n" ); document.write( "5x=4--simplify
\n" ); document.write( "x=4/5--divide whole equation by 5
\n" ); document.write( "Now, we have to find what y equals.
\n" ); document.write( "y=x-3--original equation
\n" ); document.write( "y=4/5-3--substitute x in for y
\n" ); document.write( "y=-11/5--simplify
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
