x-y =16.......................1
\n" ); document.write( "x=5y-4
\n" ); document.write( "x-5y=-4........................2
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation 1 by -1
\n" ); document.write( "-x+y=-16
\n" ); document.write( "add this to equation 2
\n" ); document.write( "x-x-5y+y=-4+16
\n" ); document.write( "-4y=-20
\n" ); document.write( "/-4
\n" ); document.write( "y=5
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of y in equation 1
\n" ); document.write( "x-(5)=21
\n" ); document.write( "x=21
