Solving this system of equations:
\n" ); document.write( "13x - 5y = 8
\n" ); document.write( " 3x + 5y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "--------------adding eliminates y, leaving x to solve:
\n" ); document.write( "16x + 0y = 16
\n" ); document.write( "16x = 16
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16/16
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find y by substituting 1 for x in the 2nd equation:
\n" ); document.write( "3(1) + 5y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "3 + 5y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 8 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5/5
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
