Solve by substition:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x-12y+=+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-x%2B3y+=+-1\" Rewrite this as:\"x+=+3y%2B1\" and substitute into the first equation, then solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%283y%2B1%29-+12y+=+5\" Apply the distributive property.
\n" ); document.write( "\"12y%2B4-12y+=+5\" Subtract 4 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"12y-12y+=+1\" Combine like-terms.
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+1\" Inconsistent!
\n" ); document.write( "This system has no solution, it is an inconsistent system.
\n" ); document.write( "The graphs of the lines represented by these two equations are parallel, they have no points in common.
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28600%2C400%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C%281%2F3%29x%2B5%2F12%2C%281%2F3%29x-1%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
