\n" ); document.write( "Top: \"x%2B2y=7\"; Bottom: \"2x-3y=-21\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply \"Top\" by 2 and subtract to \"Bottom\":
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2y=7)(2)--->\"2x%2B4y=14\"
\n" ); document.write( "2x+4y=14
\n" ); document.write( "-(2x-3y=-21) *remember to change signs
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"7y=35+\"----->\"cross%287%29y%2Fcross%287%29=cross%2835%295%2Fcross%287%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=5%29\" subst. to \"Top\":
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B2%2A5=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=7-10=-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=-3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "It shows, the \"top\" and \"Bottom\" will meet at point (-3,5):
\n" ); document.write( "---> RED Line >>>> \"Top\"; GREEN Line >>> \"Bottom\"
