Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "This can be set up with two equations as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=67
\n" ); document.write( "6y-3=x
\n" ); document.write( "Now let's rewrite these as:
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=67
\n" ); document.write( "-x+6y=3 And add these together to get:
\n" ); document.write( "5y=70 Divide both sides by 5 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y=14 Now we can figure out x to be:
\n" ); document.write( "x-14=67
\n" ); document.write( "x=81
\n" ); document.write( "Make sense?
