8x+6y=-14
\n" ); document.write( "-6x+y=49
\n" ); document.write( "y=49+6x Replace x in the first equatuon with (49+6x) & solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "8x+6(49+6x)=-14
\n" ); document.write( "8x+294+36x=-14
\n" ); document.write( "44x=-14-294
\n" ); document.write( "44x=-308
\n" ); document.write( "x=-308/44
\n" ); document.write( "x=-7 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "y=49+6*-7
\n" ); document.write( "y=49-42
\n" ); document.write( "y=7 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "8*-7+6*7=-14
\n" ); document.write( "-56+42=-14
\n" ); document.write( "-14=-14\r
