x= cost of movie ticket
\n" ); document.write( "y= cost of dinner
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2 x + 1 y = 65 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "y-2x=15
\n" ); document.write( "-2.00 x + 1 y = 15.00 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-2.00 x -1 y = -65.00
\n" ); document.write( "-2.00 x + 1 y = 15.00
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-4.00 x = -50.00
\n" ); document.write( "/ -4.00
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12.50
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "2.00 x + 1.00 y = 65.00
\n" ); document.write( "25.00 + y = 65.00
\n" ); document.write( " y = 65.00 -25
\n" ); document.write( " y = 40.00
\n" ); document.write( " y = 40.00
\n" ); document.write( "x= 12.50 cost of movie tickets
\n" ); document.write( "y= 40.00 cost of dinner \r
