$\"%281%2F2%29x+=+y+-+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F3%29x+=+y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute from eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F2%29x=%281%2F3%29x-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=2x-6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%281%2F3%29%28-6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
