X+Y=25 OR X=25-Y
\n" ); document.write( "4X-12=2Y+16 NOW SUBSTITUTE (25-Y) FOR X IN THE SECOND EQUATION & SOLVE FOR Y:
\n" ); document.write( "4(25-Y)-12=2Y+16
\n" ); document.write( "100-4Y-12=2Y+16
\n" ); document.write( "100-16-12=2Y+4Y
\n" ); document.write( "6Y=72
\n" ); document.write( "Y=72/6
\n" ); document.write( "Y=12 FOR ONE NUMBER.
\n" ); document.write( "X+12=25
\n" ); document.write( "X=25-12
\n" ); document.write( "X=13 FOR THE SECOND NUMBER
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "4*13-12=2*12+16
\n" ); document.write( "52-12=24+16
\n" ); document.write( "40=40
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
