To solve this problem, you have to make up a number to substitute for each variable. For example, if I put a 2 in the y's place, I would have to figure out an equation to make 2 equal x-3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " y = x-3 → put the 2 in the y's place.
\n" ); document.write( " 2 = x-3 → find something for x minus 3 to equal 2.
\n" ); document.write( " 2 = 5-3 → y = 2, x = 5
\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "
