\n" ); document.write( "17y -37 = 3x +7
\n" ); document.write( "

3(x + 8) = 6(y  + 4)_____x + 8 = 2(y + 4)_____x + 8 = 2y + 8_____x = 2y ------- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "17y - 37 = 3x + 7_____3x - 17y = - 44 ------- eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "3(2y) - 17y = - 44 ------ Substituting 2y for x in eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "6y - 17y = - 44
\n" );
document.write( "- 11y = - 44
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "x = 2(4) ----- Substituting 4 for y in eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
