\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2/3)y
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "(2/3)y + y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "(5/3)y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "x + 6 = 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
