1. $\"2x%2B3y=17\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"-x-4y=-21\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply eq. 2 by 2 and add to eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B3y-2x-8y=17-42\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5y=-25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-x-4y=-21\"$
