You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given:
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 1: \"4X+-+3Y+=+17\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \"5X+%2B+Y+=+7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solution:
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Start by rewritting equation 2. Since Y is by itself, solve for Y
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \"5X+%2B+Y+=+7\" Subtract 5X from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y+=+7+-+5X\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you can plug (7-5X) into equation 1 for Y
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 1: \"4X+-+3Y+=+17\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4X+-+3%2A%287-5X%29+=+17\" Simplify
\n" ); document.write( "\"4X+-+21+%2B+15X+=+17\" Simplify
\n" ); document.write( "\"19X+-+21+=+17\" Add 21 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"19X+=+38\" Divide both sides by 19
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28X+=+2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find Y, plug 2 in for X into the rewritten equation 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y+=+7+-+5X\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y+=+7+-+5%2A%282%29\" Simplify
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y+=+7+-+10\" Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28Y+=+-3%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Chesk Solution:
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Using X = 2 and Y = -3, solve equation 1
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 1: \"4X+-+3Y+=+17\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2A%282%29+-+3%2A%28-3%29+=+17\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8+%2B+9+=+17\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"17+=+17\"
\n" ); document.write( "
