You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since they both equal $\"y\"$ set them equal to each other and solve for $\"x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-4=5x%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3x=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to solve for $\"y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=2%28-4%29-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-8-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
