You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3 x -4 y = 2 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "Total value
\n" ); document.write( "2 x -4 y = -4 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-3 x 4 y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "2 x -4 y = -4
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-1 x = -6
\n" ); document.write( "/ -1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "3 x -4 y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "18 -4 y = 2
\n" ); document.write( " -4 y = 2 -18
\n" ); document.write( " -4 y = -16
\n" ); document.write( " y = 4
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
