1 a + 6 b = 5 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "1 a + 2 b = -3 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by -3
\n" ); document.write( "1 a 6 b = 5
\n" ); document.write( "-3 a -6 b = 9
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-2 a = 14
\n" ); document.write( "/ -2
\n" ); document.write( "a = -7
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of a in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "1 a + 6 b = 5
\n" ); document.write( "-7 + 6 b = 5
\n" ); document.write( " 6 b = 5 + 7
\n" ); document.write( " 6 b = 12
\n" ); document.write( " b = 2
\n" ); document.write( "a= -7
\n" ); document.write( "b= 2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(-7,2) is the solution
