2x-7+3y=9+2y+8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since there is only one equation the absolute values cannot be calculated\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Make x the subject
\n" ); document.write( "Keep x on the lefthand side and shift all terms to the right hand side of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "When you shift any term to the other sideof the equation the sign becomes opposite
\n" ); document.write( "2x=7-3y+9+2y+8
\n" ); document.write( "group the like terms
\n" ); document.write( "2x=7+9+8-3y+2y
\n" ); document.write( "2x=24-y
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x= 12 - y/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For y
\n" ); document.write( "make y the subject
\n" ); document.write( "Follow the same steps as in x
\n" ); document.write( "2x-7+3y=9+2y+8
\n" ); document.write( "3y-2y= -2x+7+9+8 ( 2y has shifted to the left side and its sign has changed)
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2x+24\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=___ y=____?\r
