4x+y=24
\n" ); document.write( " X+2y=2
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 2y = 48
\n" ); document.write( " x + 2y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 46
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 4/7
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"y\"::
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "46/7 + 2y = 14/7
\n" ); document.write( "2y = -32/7
\n" ); document.write( "y = -16/7
