You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve by substition:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By+=+12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+2x\" Substitute this value of y into the first equation and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B2x+=+12\" Combine like-terms.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x+=+12\" Divide both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+4\" Now substitute this value of x into the second equation and solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+2%284%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "The solution is: (4, 8)
\n" ); document.write( "You can also see this when you graph these two linear equations.
\n" ); document.write( "The solution is the point of intersection of the two lines.
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-3%2C6%2C-2%2C16%2C-x%2B12%2C2x%29\"
