-5 x + 1 y = -3 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "3 x -8 y = 24 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 8
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-40 x 8 y = -24
\n" ); document.write( "3 x -8 y = 24
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-37 x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "/ -37
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "-5 x + 1 y = -3
\n" ); document.write( "0 + y = -3
\n" ); document.write( " y = -3
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
