1.\"2x-y=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"3x%2By=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations together to get rid of y,
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x-y%2B3x%2By=4%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now plug this value in either eq. 1 or 2 to solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x-y=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%281%29-y=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2-y=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-y=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1,-2) is the solution.
