\n" ); document.write( "x-y=5 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y

\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "2 x = 38
\n" ); document.write( "/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 19
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 33
\n" ); document.write( "19 + 1 y = 33
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = 33-19
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = 14
\n" ); document.write( " y = 14
