You can put this solution on YOUR website!
from the looks of this your simply plugging in x and solving for y
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x-4y=-12\"$ ; x=-3,-1,1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%28-3%29-4y=-12\"$ ; x=-3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-24%29-4y=-12\"$ ; Add 24
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4y=12\"$ ; divide by -4
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-3\"$ ; x=-3
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%28-1%29-4y=-12\"$ ; x=-1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-8%29-4y=-12\"$ ; add 8
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4y=-4\"$ ; divide by -4
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=1\"$ ; x=-1
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%281%29-4y=-12\"$ ; x=1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8-4y=-12\"$ ; subtract 8
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4y=-20\"$ ; divide by -4
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=5\"$ ; x=1 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
