Solve by rearranging the equations first. Then use the multiplication principle and then use the elimination method:
\n" ); document.write( "3x=8y+11
\n" ); document.write( "x+6y-8=0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Rearranging equations:
\n" ); document.write( "3x-8y = 11
\n" ); document.write( " x+6y = 8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of bottom equation by -3:
\n" ); document.write( " 3x-8y = 11
\n" ); document.write( "-3x-18y = -24
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Add both equations together:
\n" ); document.write( " 3x-8y = 11
\n" ); document.write( "-3x-18y = -24
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "-26y = -13
\n" ); document.write( "y = -13/(-26)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute above into bottom equation:
\n" ); document.write( " x+6y = 8
\n" ); document.write( " x+6(1/2) = 8
\n" ); document.write( " x+3 = 8
\n" ); document.write( " x = 5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Solution: ordered pair (5,1/2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
