1. Rewrite both systems so that the x and y are on the same side of the equal sign and the numbers are on the other side:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-x - y = -5
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. Add both systems together, since we can easily get rid of x:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-x - y + x - y = -5 + 3 ----->\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2y = -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3. Divide both sides by -2, giving us our value of y:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -2 / -2 = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4. Replace the y in either original equation with 1. I'll use the second one:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 = x - 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, in ordered pair form, our answer is (4,1).\r
