document.write( "You substitute y = 7x-42 from the first equation into the second equation.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Doing this way, you obtain a quadratic equation for x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You solve it and obtain the solutions for x (if they do exist).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then for each found value of x you find the corresponding value of y, using the first equation.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Having my instructions, the rest is standard mechanical work, which I leave to you.\r\n" );
