You can put this solution on YOUR website!
multiply the first equation by 2 & the second by -3 & then add thus
\n" ); document.write( "6x+8y=-4
\n" ); document.write( "-6x-15y=-3
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "-7y=-7
\n" ); document.write( "y=-7/-7
\n" ); document.write( "y=1 solution. now substitute 1 for y in either equation & solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "3x+4*1=-2
\n" ); document.write( "3x+4=-2
\n" ); document.write( "3x=-2-4
\n" ); document.write( "3x=-6
\n" ); document.write( "x=-6/3
\n" ); document.write( "x=-2 solution.
\n" ); document.write( "proof
\n" ); document.write( "2*-2+5*1=1
\n" ); document.write( "-4+5=1
\n" ); document.write( "1=1 \n" ); document.write( "
