6 x -2 y = 14 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "Total value
\n" ); document.write( "2 x + 5 y = -18 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by 5
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 2
\n" ); document.write( "30 x -10 y = 70
\n" ); document.write( "4 x + 10 y = -36
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "34 x = 34
\n" ); document.write( "/ 34
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "6 x -2 y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "6 -2 y = 14
\n" ); document.write( " -2 y = 14 -6
\n" ); document.write( " -2 y = 8
\n" ); document.write( " y = -4
\n" ); document.write( "x= 1
\n" ); document.write( "y= -4
