\n" ); document.write( " 7y=6x-81
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange::
\n" ); document.write( "6x - y = 27
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 7y = 81
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"y\"::
\n" ); document.write( "6y = -54
\n" ); document.write( "y = -9
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\" using 6x-y = 27
\n" ); document.write( "6x + 9 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 18
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3
