Solved by pluggable solver: Solve the System of Equations by Graphing

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Start with the given system of equations:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"1x%2By=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"-x%2By=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So let's solve for y on the first equation
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"1x%2By=4\" Start with the given equation
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"1y=4-x\" Subtract \"+x\" from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"1y=-x%2B4\" Rearrange the equation
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28-x%2B4%29%2F%281%29\" Divide both sides by \"1\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28-1%2F1%29x%2B%284%29%2F%281%29\" Break up the fraction

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " \"y=-x%2B4\" Reduce
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Now lets graph \"y=-x%2B4\" (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28%2Bx%2B2%29%2F%281%29\" Divide both sides by \"1\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28%2B1%2F1%29x%2B%282%29%2F%281%29\" Break up the fraction

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Now lets add the graph of \"y=x%2B2\" to our first plot to get:
