document.write( "    I'm having an issue coming up with any way to get the correct answer for this Algebra problem. I need to find the intercepts for the graph of the equation given, which is 2x-3y=18. I have an example problem exatly like that which is 6x-5y=90 and the answer is: x-intercept is (15,0) and the y-intercept is (0,-18). I can usually use the exaple as an aide but I can not come up with the correct answer. Thanks in advance for your help! </SPAN>\n" );
