x/4-y/11=-9/44
\n" ); document.write( "x/6-y/13=-1/26
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the 1st equation by 44
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the 2nd equation by 6*26
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "11x - 4y = -9
\n" ); document.write( "26x - 12y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the 1st equation by 3
\n" ); document.write( "33x -12y = -27
\n" ); document.write( "26x -12y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "7x = -21
\n" ); document.write( "x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "11x - 4y = -9
\n" ); document.write( "11*-3 - 4y = -9
\n" ); document.write( "-33 -4y = -9
\n" ); document.write( "4y = -24
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "===================
\n" ); document.write( "Solution: (-3,-6)
\n" ); document.write( "========================
