Starting with
\n" ); document.write( "y = x + -1
\n" ); document.write( "y =-4x + 14
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange the first equation as, x = y + 1
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute it into the second equation
\n" ); document.write( "y = -4(y+1) + 14
\n" ); document.write( "y = -4y - 4 + 14
\n" ); document.write( "Isolate y on one side
\n" ); document.write( "y + 4y = -4 + 14
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y+=+2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "To solve for x, set both of the equations equal to each other
\n" ); document.write( "x + (-1) = -4x +14
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4x = 14 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x+=+3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Check \"cartoon%28%0D%0A2+=+3+%2B+%28-1%29%2C%0D%0A2+=+2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"cartoon%28%0D%0A2+=+-4%283%29+%2B+14%2C%0D%0A2+=+-12+%2B+14%2C%0D%0A2+=+2%29\"
