\n" ); document.write( "I don't know how to solve this! System of equations by the elimination method:
\n" ); document.write( "x/2 + y/8 = 3
\n" ); document.write( "x - y/4 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F2+%2B+y%2F8+=+3\"______4x + y = 24 ------ Multiplying by LCD, 8 ------ eq (i)
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+-+y%2F4+=+0\"______4x - y = 0 ------- Multiplying by LCD, 4 ------ eq (ii)
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 24 ------- Adding eqs (ii) & (i)
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"24%2F8\", or \"highlight_green%28x+=+3%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4(3) - y = 0 ------- Substituting 3 for x in eq (ii)
\n" ); document.write( " 12 - y = 0
\n" ); document.write( " - y = - 12
\n" ); document.write( " y = \"%28-+12%29%2F%28-+1%29\", or \"highlight_green%28y+=+12%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
