\"system%28x-y=0%2Cx%2By=-46%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-y=0\"-->\"y=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting into \"x%2By=-46\" we get
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Bx=-46\"-->\"2x=-46\"-->\"x=-46%2F2\"-->\"x=highlight%28-23%29\" and,
\n" ); document.write( "since \"y=x\", \"y=highlight%28-23%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The graph would be a good check when done on graph paper, but it will not look very informative here.
\n" ); document.write( "To graph each line, you need to calculate the coordinates for two points, plot those points, and connect them with a straight line.
\n" ); document.write( "The line \"y=x\" is obviously the line going through (-30,-30) and (0,0).
\n" ); document.write( "The line \"x%2Bx=-46\" obviously passes through (-46,0) and (0,-46).
