document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In this system of equations, the left sides are identical.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, right sides are equal\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    -2x + 6 = 2x + 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus you have one single equation for the unknown \"x\" only.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    6 - 2 = 2x + 2x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    4     = 4x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x     = 4/4 = 1.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus one unknown is just found :  x= 1.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now substitute it into either of the two original equations.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The easiest way is to substitute it into the second equation to get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    y = 2x+2 = 2*1 + 2 = 4.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The solution to the system is  x= 1, y =4.\r\n" );
