\n" );
document.write( "y+4x=-5
\n" );
document.write( "y+5x=3
\n" );
document.write( "Sets Up for a simple elimination:
\n" );
document.write( " -y-4x = 5  |mulitplying 1st Eq thru with -1 to eliminate y
\n" );
document.write( "  y+5x= 3
\n" );
document.write( "    x = 8
\n" );
document.write( "    x = 8 and y = -37  (y +5x=3;  y = -5*8 + 3)
\n" );

\n" );
document.write( " y + 4x = -5
\n" );
document.write( "-37 +32 = -5 \n" );
