solve this equation.
\n" ); document.write( "ax-by=1
\n" ); document.write( "bx+ay=1
\n" ); document.write( "----------add the equations
\n" ); document.write( "ax + bx - by + ay = 2
\n" ); document.write( "ax + bx = by - ay + 2
\n" ); document.write( "x(a+b) = y(b-a) + 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"%28y%28b-a%29%2B2%29%2F%28%28a%2Bb%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "ax + bx - by + ay = 2
\n" ); document.write( "ay - by = -ax - bx + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y(a-b) = x(-a-b) + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"%28x%28-a-b%29%2B2%29%2F%28%28a-b%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
