1 x + -1 y = 121 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "-1 x + 6 y = 4 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 6
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "6 x + -6 y = 726
\n" ); document.write( "-1 x + 6 y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "5 x = 730
\n" ); document.write( "/ 5
\n" ); document.write( "x=146 =146.00
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x-y = 121
\n" ); document.write( "146-y=121
\n" ); document.write( " -1 y = 121 + -146
\n" ); document.write( " -1 y = -25
\n" ); document.write( " y = 25
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
