You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2y = 4x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "Y = -1/2x - 2
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "It's better if we put these equations into the standard form
\n" ); document.write( "-4x + 2y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F2\"x + y = -2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Get rid of that annoying fraction, multiply the 2nd equation by 2
\n" ); document.write( "subtract the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( " x + 2y = -4
\n" ); document.write( "-4x + 2y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "---------------- subtraction eliminates y, find x
\n" ); document.write( "5x = -14
\n" ); document.write( "x = -14/5
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2.8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find y, using the eq x + 2y = -4, replace x with -2.8
\n" ); document.write( "-2.8 + 2y = -4
\n" ); document.write( "2y = -4 + 2.8
\n" ); document.write( "2y = -1.2
\n" ); document.write( "y = -1.2/2
\n" ); document.write( "y = -.6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The solution is: x = -2.8, y = -.6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "You can check that in the original equations, replace x and y, see if equality reigns supreme\r
