3x - y =7
\n" ); document.write( "14x + 6 =2y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let us put the equation in order with variables on left side and number on the right side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x-y=7
\n" ); document.write( "14x-2y=-6.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(In practical terms when the terms or numbers cross over to the other side their signs change. This is not applicable for division)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Lets eliminate y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the first equation by -2 and add the two equations\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2(3x-y)+14x-2y=-2*7-6
\n" ); document.write( "-6x+2y+14x-2y=-20
\n" ); document.write( "8x=-20
\n" ); document.write( "x=-5/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "plug the value of x in any equation
\n" ); document.write( "14*-5/2 -2y=-6
\n" ); document.write( "-35-2y=-6
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=29
\n" ); document.write( "y=-29/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
