1.\"x%2B3y=14\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"x%2B2y=10\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract eq. 2 from eq. 1 to eliminate \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B3y-x-2y=14-10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to solve for \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B12=14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
