1. $\"4x%2B2y=14\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"7x-3y=-8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply eq. 1 by 3 and eq. 2 by 2 and add them together.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12x%2B6y%2B14x-6y=42-16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"26x=26\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now use either eq. 1 or 2 to solve for y,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B2y=14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2B2y=14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y=10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=5\"$
