How am I suppose to answer this
\n" ); document.write( "You're not supposed to answer it, it's not a question.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "The reference to substitution or elimination implies that you're expected to solve the system for x & y.
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "You should say that - \"How do I solve the system for x & y?\"
\n" ); document.write( "Knowing what you want to do and expressing it is a big step toward doing it.
\n" ); document.write( "================================
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x=12y-14
\n" ); document.write( "3y+2x=26
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x -12y = -14
\n" ); document.write( "2x +3y = 26
\n" ); document.write( "-- ---------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 1st eqn by 2, then subtract.
\n" ); document.write( "2x -24y = -28
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y = 26
\n" ); document.write( "--------------- Subtract
\n" ); document.write( "-27y = -54
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "=========
\n" ); document.write( "Sub for y in any equation and solve for x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
