Solve the system.
\n" ); document.write( "y= x + -2
\n" ); document.write( "y= -3x + 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know that y = y, therefore we can write it
\n" ); document.write( "x - 2 = -3x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3x = 10 + 2
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12/4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find y using the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "y = x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solutions in the 2nd equation
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3(3) + 10
\n" ); document.write( "y = -9 + 10
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1, confirms our solutions of x = 3, y = 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Are you understanding this now? C \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
