document.write( "-2x+3y= -9
\n" );
document.write( "  x+3y= 3 |Subtracting 2nd from 1st EQ to eliminate y
\n" );
document.write( " -3x = -12
\n" );
document.write( "  x = 4  and y = -1/3   (4 + 3y = 3,  3y = -1, y = -1/3)
\n" );

document.write( "Using: -2x+3y= -9 
\n" );
document.write( "  -8 + -1 = -9 \n" );
