3x=8y+11
\n" ); document.write( "shift the terms to one side and the constants to the other side
\n" ); document.write( "-8y
\n" ); document.write( "3x-8y=11......................1
\n" ); document.write( "x+ 6y - 8 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "+8
\n" ); document.write( "x+6y=8........................2
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation (2) by -3
\n" ); document.write( "-3x-18y=-24
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "add this equation to (1)
\n" ); document.write( "-3x+3x-18y-8y=-24+11
\n" ); document.write( "-26y=-13
\n" ); document.write( "/-26
\n" ); document.write( "y= -13/-26
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of y in equation (2)
\n" ); document.write( "x+6*0.5 = 8
