Add the equations together to solve for y
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B3y-x%2By=2%2B1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4y=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=3%2F4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now use either equation to solve for x,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-x%2By=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=y-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=3%2F4-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=-1%2F4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Consistent and independent. \n" ); document.write( "
