4 x -5 y = -14 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "Total value
\n" ); document.write( "-8 x + 3 y = -14 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 5
\n" ); document.write( "12 x -15 y = -42
\n" ); document.write( "-40 x + 15 y = -70
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-28 x = -112
\n" ); document.write( "/ -28
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "4 x -5 y = -14
\n" ); document.write( "16 -5 y = -14
\n" ); document.write( " -5 y = -14 -16
\n" ); document.write( " -5 y = -30
\n" ); document.write( " y = 6
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
