I think you're trying to solve this system of equations,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y%2Bx=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=x-11\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the second into the first directly to eliminate y.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28x-11%29%2Bx=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-22%2Bx=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=27\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "Then go back and use the second equation to solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
