X+Y=17 OR X=17-Y NOW SUBSTITUTE (17-Y) FOR X IN THE FOLLOWING EQUATION.
\n" ); document.write( "X-Y=29
\n" ); document.write( "(17-Y)-Y=29
\n" ); document.write( "-2Y=29-17
\n" ); document.write( "-2Y=12
\n" ); document.write( "Y=12/-2
\n" ); document.write( "Y=-6 ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "X-6=17
\n" ); document.write( "X=17+6
\n" ); document.write( "X=23 ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "23-(-6)=29
\n" ); document.write( "23+6=29
\n" ); document.write( "29=29
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
