5x-6y= 40
\n" ); document.write( "3x+2y=8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of the bottom equation by 3 then combine both equations:
\n" ); document.write( "5x-6y= 40
\n" ); document.write( "9x+6y= 24
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "14x = 64
\n" ); document.write( "x = 64/14
\n" ); document.write( "x = 32/7
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "plug the above into the top equation and solve for y:
\n" ); document.write( "5x-6y= 40
\n" ); document.write( "5(32/7)-6y= 40
\n" ); document.write( "5(32)-42y= 280
\n" ); document.write( "160-42y= 280
\n" ); document.write( "-42y= 120
\n" ); document.write( "y = -120/42
\n" ); document.write( "y = -60/21
\n" ); document.write( "y = -20/7
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: (x,y) = (32/7, -20/7)\r
