2x+3y=-5
\n" ); document.write( "5x-3y=-23
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "Add the 2 equations to eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3y+5x-3y=-5-23
\n" ); document.write( "7x=-28
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 7
\n" ); document.write( "7x/7 = -28/7
\n" ); document.write( "x=-4
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "plug the value of x in any of the equations
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3y=-5
\n" ); document.write( "2*-4+3y=-5
\n" ); document.write( "-8+3y=-5
\n" ); document.write( "Add 8 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-8+8+3y=-5+8
\n" ); document.write( "3y=3
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 3
\n" ); document.write( "3y/3 = 3/3
\n" ); document.write( "y=1 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
