how do I go about solving these linear equations using substitution
\n" ); document.write( "4x-y=5 --> y = 4x-5
\n" ); document.write( "4x+4y=-4
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Sub for y in the 2nd eqn
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 4(4x-5) = -4
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4x-5 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4/5
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "y = -9/5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
