solve by any appropriate method. if it is not possible to obtain one solution, state the reason. write the solution in the form (x,y).
\n" ); document.write( "1 + x - y = y + 4
\n" ); document.write( "4(x-y) = 3 - x
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange:
\n" ); document.write( "2y - x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "4y -5x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify:
\n" ); document.write( "4y - 2x = -6
\n" ); document.write( "4y - 5x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "3x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "2y -x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "2y + 1 = -3
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "=====
\n" ); document.write( "Solution: (-1,-2)
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
