1. $\"7x%2B6y=-48\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"x-3y=-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply eq. 2 by $\"2\"$ and add the equations together,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B6y%2B2x-6y=-48-6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x=-54\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=-6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to solve for $\"y\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-6-3y=-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3y=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=-1%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
