2x+y=-2 and 5x+3y=-8 solved by using substitution method
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "2x+y=-2
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2x-2
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "5x+3y=-8
\n" ); document.write( "sub y from 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "5x+3(-2x-2)=-8
\n" ); document.write( "5x-6x-6=-8
\n" ); document.write( "add 6 to both sides and add x-terms
\n" ); document.write( "-x=-2
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by (-1)
\n" ); document.write( "x=2
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2x-2=-4-2=-6
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
