You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the answer is (-3,4), then substitute for x and y in your equations.
\n" ); document.write( "First find b.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x%2B7y=b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28-3%29+%2B+7%284%29+=+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-15%2B28=b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=13\"
\n" ); document.write( "Next find m.
\n" ); document.write( "\"mx%2By=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%28-3%29%2B4=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3m%2B4=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3m=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
