$\"y=%285%2F6%29x-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=3x-7%2F2\"$ Substitute above equation for y.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285%2F6%29x-3=3x-7%2F2\"$ Subtract (5/6)x from each side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3=%2813%2F6%29x-7%2F2\"$ Add (7/2) to each side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F2=%2813%2F6%29x\"$ Multiply each side by (6/13)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2F26=x\"$ ANSWER 1: The value of x=3/13.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=3x-7%2F2\"$ Put in value for x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=3%283%2F13%29-7%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=9%2F13-7%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=18%2F26-91%2F26\"$ = $\"-%2873%2F26%29\"$ ANSWER 2: y=-(73/26)
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%285%2F6%29x-3\"$ Put in values.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%2873%2F26%29=%285%2F6%29%283%2F13%29-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%2873%2F26%29=%2815%2F78%29-%2878%2F26%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%2873%2F26%29=%285%2F26%29-%2878%2F26%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%2873%2F26%29=-%2873%2F26%29\"$ \r
