\"1=7y-4x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B1=7y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%284x-7y=-1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8x-4-14y=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x-14y=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%284x-7y=2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The reason that you have trouble is these two equations represent parallel lines in a plane. They will not intersect.
