You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1. $\"2x%2B3y=-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"x=25-8y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute eq. 2 into eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2825-8y%29%2B3y=-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"50-16y%2B3y=-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for $\"y\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Once you have $\"y\"$ , use eq. 2 to solve for $\"x\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
