You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = mike age now
\n" ); document.write( "y = rich age now
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = (7/10)y
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = (8/11)(y + 4)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "put the system of linear equations into standard form
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x - (7/10)y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = (8/11)y + (8/11)4
