Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B8y+=+-7\" Rewrite this as: \"x+=+-8y-7\" and substitute into the second equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%2B9y+=+7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%28-8y-7%29%2B9y+=+7\" Simplify the left side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-64y-56%2B9y+=+7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-55y-56+=+7\" Add 56 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-55y+=+63\" Divide both sides by -55.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+-63%2F55\" Now substitute this into the first equation and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B8%28-63%2F55%29+=+-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-%28504%2F55%29+=+-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+119%2F55\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+2.164\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+-1.145\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C400%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C-%281%2F8%29x-7%2F8%2C-%288%2F9%29x%2B7%2F9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
