Let one number be x and other y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 19 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "1 x -1 y = 55 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "1 x 1 y = 19
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + -1 y = 55
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "2 x = 74
\n" ); document.write( "/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 37
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 19
\n" ); document.write( "37 + 1 y = 19
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = 19 -37
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = -18
\n" ); document.write( " y = -18
\n" ); document.write( " 37& -18
