From the given statement we can come up with the following expressions:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=5y\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plug the second equation into the first:
\n" ); document.write( "\"5y%2By=50\"
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "\"6y=50\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 6:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=8%2B1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plug this back into the second equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=5%288%2B1%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Thus \"x=41%2B2%2F3\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you're supposed to be only working with integers, check to see if 50 is supposed to be some other number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
