You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For the first equation subtract y from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x+-+y+=+cross%28y+-+y%29+%2B+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x+-+y+=++1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange the 2nd equation to have x come first
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x+%2B+3y+=7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now you can line up the the like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x+-+y+=++1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x+%2B+3y+=7\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
