\n" ); document.write( "x = 4y
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "4y-y = 18
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 18
\n" ); document.write( "y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4y
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4*6 = 24
