2 x -5 y = 16 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "4 x + 3 y = 6 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 5
\n" ); document.write( "6 x -15 y = 48
\n" ); document.write( "20 x + 15 y = 30
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "26 x = 78
\n" ); document.write( "/ 26
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "2 x -5 y = 16
\n" ); document.write( "6 -5 y = 16
\n" ); document.write( " -5 y = 16 -6
\n" ); document.write( " -5 y = 10
\n" ); document.write( " y = -2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=3,y=-2
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
