-5c+b=-11
\n" ); document.write( "b=5c-11 now substitute (5c-11) for b in the other equation & solve for b
\n" ); document.write( "3(5c-11)+2c=46
\n" ); document.write( "15c-33+2c=46
\n" ); document.write( "17c=46+33
\n" ); document.write( "17c=79
\n" ); document.write( "c=79/17 answer
\n" ); document.write( "now substitute 79/17 for c and solve for b
\n" ); document.write( "b=5*79/17-11
\n" ); document.write( "b=395/17-11
\n" ); document.write( "b=(395-187)/17
\n" ); document.write( "b=208/17 answer
\n" ); document.write( "proof
\n" ); document.write( "-5*79/17+208/17=-11
\n" ); document.write( "(-395+208)/17=-11
\n" ); document.write( "-187/17=-11
\n" ); document.write( "-11=-11
