That's the most inefficient, most time-consuming, and most error-prone method I've ever seen one use to solve a system of equations, 
\n" );
document.write( "if I ever saw one. It is so inefficient and CONFUSING to the point where the woman who solved it got WRONG solutions. Her solutions 
\n" );
document.write( "DO NOT SATISFY THE EQUATIONS, so IGNORE HER ENTIRE SOLUTION. Plus, why would someone even try to solve a fractional system by graphing? RIDICULOUS!\r

document.write( "Just multiply eq (ii) by 3 to get:  ---- eq (iii)

document.write( "Adding eqs (i) & (iii) results in:
