You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"+x+-+2y+=+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Pick any value you want for $\"+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I'll say $\"+x+=+-12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for $\"+y+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-12+-+2y+=+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"+12+\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-2y+=+20+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+-2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "So, a solution to the equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "( -12, -10 )
\n" ); document.write( "You can use the same method to
\n" ); document.write( "find any point on the line you want
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
