You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4x - y = -16
\n" ); document.write( "16x + ky = 11
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 1st equation by 4
\n" ); document.write( "16x - 4y = -64
\n" ); document.write( "16x + ky = 11
\n" ); document.write( "It can be seen if k=-4, the system can't have a solution
\n" ); document.write( "16x - 4y = -64
\n" ); document.write( "16x - 4y = 11
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
