5x+2y=-2
\n" ); document.write( "x=26-7y
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of x in the 2nd equation into the 1st equation:
\n" ); document.write( "5(26-7y)+2y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "130-35y+2y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "-33y = -132
\n" ); document.write( "y = 132/33
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute that into x = 26-7y to solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 26-7(132/33)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 858/33 - 924/33
\n" ); document.write( "x = -66/33 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "===================
\n" ); document.write( "Solution: (-2,(132/33))
