You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have 2 equations to start with:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+-+2y+=+-6\" (..1)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%28%28-3%2F2%29x%29+-1\" (..2)
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange equatiom (..2) to give x in terms of y:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2y-6\" (..3)
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute equation (..3) into equation (..2) for x:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28%28-3%2F2%29%282y-6%29%29-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-3y%2B6-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=5%2F4\" (..4)
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute equation (..4) into equation (..3) for y:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2%285%2F4%29-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=10%2F4-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2.5-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-3.5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps
\n" ); document.write( "P.S. I am trying to start up my own homework help website. I would be extremely grateful if you would e-mail me some feedback on the help you received to adam.chapman@student.manchester.ac.uk
