From these two equations,
\n" ); document.write( "m=3+2p
\n" ); document.write( "5m-2p=-1
\n" ); document.write( "substitute the first into the second and get
\n" ); document.write( "5(3+2p) - 2p = -1
\n" ); document.write( "15 + 10p - 2p = -1
\n" ); document.write( "15 + 8p = -1
\n" ); document.write( "8p = -16
\n" ); document.write( "p = -2
\n" ); document.write( "m = 3 + 2(-2) = -1 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
