You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The given equations are,
\n" ); document.write( " 5x+2y=18 ...(1)
\n" ); document.write( " 2x+3y=16 ...(2)
\n" ); document.write( "(1)*3=> 15x+6y = 54 ..(3)
\n" ); document.write( "(2)*2=> 4x+6y = 32 ...(4)
\n" ); document.write( "(3)-(4)=> 11x = 22
\n" ); document.write( " x = 22/11
\n" ); document.write( " x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "(1)=> 5*2+2y = 18
\n" ); document.write( " 10+2y = 18
\n" ); document.write( " 2y = 18-10
\n" ); document.write( " 2y = 8
\n" ); document.write( " y = 8/2
\n" ); document.write( " y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "The solution is x=2,y=4 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
