Subtract one equation from the other to eliminate $\"y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y-2x-3y-5x=8-%28-20%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-7x=28\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Use either equation to solve for $\"x\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y%2B5%28-4%29=-20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y-20=-20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=0\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
