x + y = 10 ----> x = 10 - y
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 8y - 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x = 10-y into the second equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3(10 - y) = 8y - 3
\n" ); document.write( "30 - 3y = 8y - 3
\n" ); document.write( "-11y = -33
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solution: (x, y) = (7, 3)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
