(4x+5)/2y=11\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multipluy by 2y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x+5 = 22y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x-22y=-5.....................(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(3x-4)/3y= -11
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 3y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x-4 = -33y
\n" ); document.write( "3x+33y=4.......................(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4 x -22 y = -5 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "3 x + 33 y = 4 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 2
\n" ); document.write( "12 x -66 y = -15
\n" ); document.write( "6 x + 66 y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "18 x = -7
\n" ); document.write( "/ 18
\n" ); document.write( "x = - 7/18
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "4 x -22 y = -5
\n" ); document.write( "-14/9 -22 y = -5
