x - 10y = 60
\n" ); document.write( "x - 14y = 12
\n" ); document.write( "------------------Subtraction eliminates x, find y
\n" ); document.write( "4y = 48
\n" ); document.write( "y = 48/4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the first equation to find x, replace y with 12
\n" ); document.write( "x - 10(12) = 60
\n" ); document.write( "x - 120 = 60
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60 + 120
\n" ); document.write( "x = 180
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check the solutions in the 2nd equation
\n" ); document.write( "x - 14y = 12
\n" ); document.write( "replace x and y
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 14(12) = 12
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 168 = 12 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
