C-North Carolina's population
\n" ); document.write( "Y-New York's population
\n" ); document.write( "O-Oklahoma's population
\n" ); document.write( "1. $\"C=Y%2B22000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"Y=O-187000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "3. $\"C%2BY%2BO=437000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Use 2, to get values for C and O in terms of Y,
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"Y=O-187000\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"O=Y%2B187000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Nopw I can substitute this answer and equation 1 into equation 3 and solve for Y.
