It's not really a systems of equations problem...I have changed it to \"expressions involving variables.\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Anyway, if we multiply by x-1 we get \"x%2B1+=+y%28x-1%29+=+yx+-+y\". Isolating the x terms we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B1+=+yx+-+x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B1+=+x%28y-1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28y%2B1%29%2F%28y-1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Interesting, each equation is equal to its inverse function, so the two equations are symmetric about the line y = x.\r
