Equation 1 : x-4y=1
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2 : x+2y=19
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the second equation by 2 to get
\n" ); document.write( "New Equation 2 : 2x+4y=38
\n" ); document.write( "Add the new equation 2 to the original equation 1 to get
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 39
\n" ); document.write( "x=13
\n" ); document.write( " Substitute x=13 into one of the equations to find the value for y(=3).
