\"xy=-12\" and assuming \"y%3Ex\", \"y%2Bx=1\".
\n" ); document.write( "Two equations and two unknown variables.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=1-x\" from the second equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%281-x%29=-12\" substituted into the first equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-x%5E2%2Bx%2B12=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-x-12=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28highlight%28%28x%2B3%29%28x-4%29=0%29%29\"
