You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, multiply the first equation 4x + y = 1 by 2. You'll end up with the following:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2(4x + y =1); 8x + 2y = 2. Now you may eliminate the 2y; see below\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x + 2y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "x - 2y = -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cancel out the 2y. You will now have 9x = 0 so X = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, plug 0 into the x value in the first equation so you can then solve for y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x + y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "4(0) +y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "0 + y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1 - 0
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "X = 0 and y = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now plug in these values into the first equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x + y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "4(0) + 1 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "0 + 1 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "1 = 1 YOU'RE DONE.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
