Use elimination to solve each system of equations.
\n" ); document.write( "x+y+3 (I think you mean x + y = 3, here)
\n" ); document.write( "2x-3y=16
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "<
\n" ); document.write( "multiply the 1st equation by 3 and add to the 2nd equation
\n" ); document.write( " 3x + 3y = 9
\n" ); document.write( " 2x - 3y = 16
\n" ); document.write( "------------------additions eliminates y, find x
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 25
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"25%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "find y using the 1st equation: x + y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "5 + y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Check it in the 2nd equation 2x - 3y = 16
\n" ); document.write( "2(5) - 3(-2) = 16
\n" ); document.write( "10 + 6 = 16
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
