find the elimination method
\n" ); document.write( "6x-6y=-48
\n" ); document.write( "-3x-2y=-11
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the 2nd equation by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "6x -6y = -48
\n" ); document.write( "-6x -4y = -22
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "-10y = -70
\n" ); document.write( "y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 6y = -48
\n" ); document.write( "6x -6*7 = -48
\n" ); document.write( "6x = -6
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1
