let there be x birds on tree 1
\n" ); document.write( "y birds on tree2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "one flies from tree 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x-1= y+1
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=2............1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One flies from tree2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+1 = 2(y-1)
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 =2y-2
\n" ); document.write( "x-2y=-3...............2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation (1) by -1
\n" ); document.write( "-x+y =-2
\n" ); document.write( "add to (2)
\n" ); document.write( "x-2y=-3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-y = -5
\n" ); document.write( "y=5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "plug y =5 in any equation
\n" ); document.write( "we get x=7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "tree 1 has 7 birds
\n" ); document.write( "& tree 2 has 5 birds\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
