4 x -8 y = 48 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "11 x + 3 y = -105.50 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 8
\n" ); document.write( "12 x -24 y = 144
\n" ); document.write( "88 x + 24 y = -844
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "100 x = -700
\n" ); document.write( "/ 100
\n" ); document.write( "x = -7
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "4 x -8 y = 48
\n" ); document.write( "-28 -8 y = 48
\n" ); document.write( " -8 y = 48 + 28
\n" ); document.write( " -8 y = 76
\n" ); document.write( " y = -9 .5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=-7, y = -9.5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
