\"y+=+x+-+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+-+5y+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "substitute \"y\" in 1st for \"y\" in second
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+-+5%28x+-+5%29+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+-+5x+%2B+25+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3x+=+-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+x+-+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+8+-+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "The equations are independant
\n" ); document.write( "
