You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If we require that the solution is (-3,4),\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28-3%29%2B7%284%29=13=b\" Substitute values for x and y into the first equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m%28-3%29%2B4=22\" Substitute values for x and y into the second equations
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3m=18\" Subtract 4 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=-6\" Divide both sides by -3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then, m=-6, b=13 makes this system true.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
