elimination method
\n" ); document.write( "2x/3 + 3y/4 =11/12..........I
\n" ); document.write( "x/3 + 7y/18 =1/2..........II
\n" ); document.write( "wouldn't 12 be the common denominator in the first equation
\n" ); document.write( "YES SO MULTIPLY WITH 12...EQN.I
\n" ); document.write( "8X+9Y=11...............III
\n" ); document.write( "SIMILARLY MULTIPLY EQN.II WITH 18
\n" ); document.write( "6X+7Y=9..............IV
\n" ); document.write( "7*EQNIII-9*EQN.IV
\n" ); document.write( "56X+63Y-72X-63Y=77-81
\n" ); document.write( "-16X=-4
\n" ); document.write( "X=1/4...PUT IN EQN.III
\n" ); document.write( "8*1/4+9Y=11
\n" ); document.write( "9Y=11-2=9
\n" ); document.write( "Y=1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
