The idea is to create the same number of \"x's\" or \"y's\" in both equations.
\n" ); document.write( "Then you subtract one equation from the other to eliminate that variable.
\n" ); document.write( "To get rid of the \"x's\" in your problem:
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of the 1st equation by 3 to get the following
\n" ); document.write( "24x + 15y = 18
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of the 2nd equation by 8 to get the following
\n" ); document.write( "24x - 16y = 80\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, subtract the new 2nd equation from the new 1st equation to get
\n" ); document.write( " 31y= -62
\n" ); document.write( " y= -2
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute that value of y into either of the original equations to
\n" ); document.write( "solve for x.\r
