You can put this solution on YOUR website!
using the process of elimination.....which means you manipulate the current equations so that when one added or subtracted from the other a variable is eliminated.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x+y=5
\n" ); document.write( "3x-y=10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "in our case no manipulation is needed because when you add the two equations together, the way they currently stand,the y terms are eliminated because y-y=0. We are left with 2x+3x=10+5

\n" ); document.write( "5x=15
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "now take x's found value and plug it back into either equation and solve for y.I choose the first
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2(3)+y=5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6+y=5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=-1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the graph confirms the lines cross at (3,-1)
