\n" ); document.write( "3x + 2y = 60
\n" ); document.write( " x = -4y
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\"::
\n" ); document.write( "3(-4y)+2y = 60
\n" ); document.write( "-12y+2y = 60
\n" ); document.write( "-10y = 60
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "-----
