\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4y-15
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "4y-15 + y = 90
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 105
\n" ); document.write( "y = 21 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4y-15
