Solve the system of equations for x and y.
gx+hy=i
jx+ny=p
---------
gjx + hjy = i*j --- 1st eqn times j
gjx + gny = g*p --- 2nd eqn times g
----------------------------------------- Subtract
(hj - gn)y = ij - gp
y = (ij - gp)/(hj - gn)
---
sub for y in the 1st eqn
gx + hy = i
gx + h*(ij - gp)/(hj - gn) = i
gx = i -h*(ij - gp)/(hj - gn)
x = i/g -h*(ij - gp)/(ghj - g^2n)
