1. $\"x=8%2B3y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"2x-5y=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute eq. 1 into eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%288%2B3y%29-5y=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16%2B6y-5y=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=-8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now use eq. 1 to solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=8%2B3%28-8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=8-24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=-16%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
