You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x + 2y = 12......1
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 4y = -2......2
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (1) by 2
\n" ); document.write( "6x + 4y = 24......3
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 4y = -2......2
\n" ); document.write( "Add (1) to(2)
\n" ); document.write( "11x = 22
\n" ); document.write( " x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "into Eq(1)
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 2y = 12
\n" ); document.write( "3(2) + 2y = 12
\n" ); document.write( " 6 + 2y = 12
\n" ); document.write( " 2y = 12 - 6
\n" ); document.write( " 2y = 6
\n" ); document.write( " y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
