Slove the syste, by elinibation:
\n" ); document.write( "12x + 16y = -19
\n" ); document.write( "14x - 10y = 71
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "To solve by elimination, multiply one or both of the eqns to get the same coefficient for one of the variables.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 1st by 5, and the 2nd by 8.
\n" ); document.write( "60x + 80y = -95
\n" ); document.write( "112x- 80y = 568 Now add them
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "172x = 473
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11/4
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Then sub for x into either eqn to find y
\n" ); document.write( "12*(11/4) + 16y = -19
\n" ); document.write( "33 + 16y = -19
\n" ); document.write( "16y = -52
\n" ); document.write( "y = -13/4
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
