You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2 x + 5 y = 1 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "-1 x + 6 y = 8 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 6
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by -5
\n" ); document.write( "12 x 30 y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "5 x -30 y = -40
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "17 x = -34
\n" ); document.write( "/ 17
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "2 x + 5 y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "-4 + 5 y = 1
\n" ); document.write( " 5 y = 1 + 4
\n" ); document.write( " 5 y = 5
\n" ); document.write( " y = 1
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
