\n" ); document.write( "x = (1/5)y
\n" ); document.write( "y - x = 28
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "y - (1/5)y = 28
\n" ); document.write( "(4/5)y = 28
\n" ); document.write( "y = (5/4)28
\n" ); document.write( "y = 35
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( " x = (1/5)y
\n" ); document.write( "x = (1/5)35
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
