\n" ); document.write( "Top: \"3x-11y=2\"; Bottom: \"x-5y=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply \"Bottom\" by 3, and subtract from \"Top\":
\n" ); document.write( "(x-5y=2)(3)=\"3x-15y=6\"
\n" ); document.write( "3x-11y=2
\n" ); document.write( "-(3x-15y=6) * remember to change signs
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=-4\"------>\"cross%284%29y%2Fcross%284%29=cross%28-4%291%2Fcross%284%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=-1%29\", subst to \"Bottom\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-5%28-1%29=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=-3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "It shows, \"top\" and \"Bottom\" will meet at point (-3,-1):
\n" ); document.write( "------>RED>>>\"Top\"; GREEN>>>>>\"Bottom\"
