2 x + 3 y = 26 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 8 y = 14 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -8
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 3
\n" ); document.write( "-16 x -24 y = -208
\n" ); document.write( "3 x 24 y = 42
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-13 x = -166
\n" ); document.write( "/ -13
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12.77
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "2 x + 3 y = 26
\n" ); document.write( "25.54 + 3 y = 26
\n" ); document.write( " 3 y = 26 -25.54
\n" ); document.write( " 3 y = 0.46
\n" ); document.write( " y = 0.15
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
