\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One way is to eliminate one of the variables. Multiply the 1st eqn by 4 and the 2nd by 3, giving:
\n" ); document.write( "12x-20y=44 and

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0x -29y=29, or 29y = -29.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So y = -1. Sub -1 in for y in eqn. 1 or 2, giving 3x -5(-1) = 11, or 3x + 5=11.\r
