2x –y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply 1st thru by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "4x -2y = 16
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add to get:
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into x+ 2y = 14 to solve for \"Y\":
\n" ); document.write( "6 + 2y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "------------
