You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What variables, A and B? Your equations and the description use only x and y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Nothing is stopping you from just solving the simple system of equations. You can make a graph of the two if you need, and just simple substitution is all you need; solve for x. $\"y=7x%2B150=15x\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
