5 x + 2 y = 26 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "7 x + 6 y = 14 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-15 x -6 y = -78
\n" ); document.write( "7 x + 6 y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-8 x = -64
\n" ); document.write( "/ -8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "5 x + 2 y = 26
\n" ); document.write( "40 + 2 y = 26
\n" ); document.write( " 2 y = 26 -40
\n" ); document.write( " 2 y = -14
\n" ); document.write( " y = -7
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
