You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x + 2y = 9 --- eq 1
\n" ); document.write( "3x - y = 13 --- eq 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x+6y = 27 --- eq 1 * 3 ( multiply the entire equation with 3)
\n" ); document.write( "3x - y = 13 --- eq 2
\n" ); document.write( "(-) (+) (-)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "7y = 14 --- (eq 1 - eq 2)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 14/7 = 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "substitute value of y in eq 1
\n" ); document.write( "x+2(2) = 9
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9 - 4 = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " by substitution method
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9 - 2y
\n" ); document.write( "substitute value of x in eq 2
\n" ); document.write( "3(9 - 2y) - y = 13
\n" ); document.write( "27 - 6y - y = 13
\n" ); document.write( "27 - 13 = 7y
\n" ); document.write( "14 = 7y
\n" ); document.write( "y = 14/7 =2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 9 - 2y
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9 - 2(2) = 9 - 4 = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 ; y = 2\r
