7 x -8 y = -36 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "6 x -10 y = -12 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -5
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 4
\n" ); document.write( "-35 x 40 y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "24 x -40 y = -48
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-11 x = 132
\n" ); document.write( "/ -11
\n" ); document.write( "x = -12
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "7 x + -8 y = -36
\n" ); document.write( "-84 + -8 y = -36
\n" ); document.write( " -8 y = -36 + 84
\n" ); document.write( " -8 y = 48
\n" ); document.write( " y = -6
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
