I'm assuming the second equation is : $\"Y=11%2B0.54x\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Set the equations equal to each other,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18%2B0.4x=11%2B0.54x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0.4x-0.54x=11-18\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-0.14x=-7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=7%2F0.14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=50\"$ $\"g\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
