\"x%2By=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"8x%2B8y=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"9x-8y=64%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Add eqs. 1 and 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%2B8y%2B9x-8y=8%2B64%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"17x=%2872%2B64%29%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=136%2F%2817%2A9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=8%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=1\"
