(5,1) is the coordinate pair of (x,y)
\n" ); document.write( "x is equal to 5 and y is equal to 1.
\n" ); document.write( "the equation is 2x - 3y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "if you replace x with 5 and y with 1, then the equation should be true.
\n" ); document.write( "let's do that.
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 3y = 7 becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "(2*5) - (3*1) = 7 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "10 - 3 = 7 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "7 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "the equation is true when we replace x with 5 and y with 1.
\n" ); document.write( "that means that the coordinate pair of (5,1) is a solution to the equation of 2x - 3y = 7.\r
