x-2y=14 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "3x-y=2 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by -2
\n" ); document.write( "x-2y=14
\n" ); document.write( "-6x+2y=-4
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-5x=10
\n" ); document.write( "/-5
\n" ); document.write( "x=-2
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x-2y=14
\n" ); document.write( "-2-2y=14
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=14+2
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=16
\n" ); document.write( "y=-8\r
