1. $\"+2x+%2B+y%2F2=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"+10x-11y=6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y%2F2=12-2x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=24-4x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10x-11%2824-4x%29=6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10x-264%2B44x=6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"54x=270\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
