since they both equal y set them equal to each other
\n" ); document.write( "5/6x+1/6=7/6x+11/6
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 1/6 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "5/6x=7/6x+10/6
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 6
\n" ); document.write( "5x=7x+10
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 5x
\n" ); document.write( "0=7x+10
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 10
\n" ); document.write( "-10=7x
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 7
\n" ); document.write( "-10/7=x
\n" ); document.write( "substitute in either of the original equations
\n" ); document.write( "y=7/6x+11/6
\n" ); document.write( "y=7/6*-10/7*x+11/6
\n" ); document.write( "y=-10/6+11/6
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 6
\n" ); document.write( "6y=-10+11
\n" ); document.write( "6y=1
\n" ); document.write( "y=1/6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we could check by plugging the x and y into the other equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
