document.write( "Solution to the following system:
\n" );
document.write( "x - y = -3   **(x = y-3)
\n" );
document.write( "x + 3y = 5 
\n" );
document.write( "-x + y = 3    ||||multiplying 1st EQ thru by -1 to  eliminate the x variable
\n" );
document.write( "x + 3y = 5 
\n" );
document.write( "   4y =  8
\n" );
document.write( "    y = 2  and x = -1   (x = y-3)
\n" );
document.write( " Ordered pair (-1,2) is the solution for this system
\n" );
