I need help with 5x-3y=7 -3x-5y=23
\n" ); document.write( "Using elimination using multiplication
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 3y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "-3x- 5y = 23
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "To eliminate the \"x-terms\".
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "15x - 9y = 21
\n" ); document.write( "-15x -25y = 115
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "-34y = 136
\n" ); document.write( "y = -4
\n" ); document.write( " ------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 3y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 3(-4) = 7
\n" ); document.write( "5x +12 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "5x = -5
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1
