\n" ); document.write( "-14x +6y = 2*-26
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add and solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 2y = 20
\n" ); document.write( "40 - 2y = 20
