\n" ); document.write( "-3x+7y=-16
\n" ); document.write( "-9x+5y+16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Part A: Create an equivalent system of equations by replacing one equation with the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other. Show the steps to do this.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Part B: Show that the equivalent system has the same solution as the original system of equations.
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "- 3x + 7y = - 16 -------- eq (i)
\n" ); document.write( "- 9x + 5y = 16 -------- eq (ii)
\n" ); document.write( "Is the 2nd plus sign in the 2nd equation supposed to be \"=\"? If so, then the most convenient method is to:
\n" ); document.write( "1) Multiply eq (i) by - 3, creating eq (iii)
\n" ); document.write( "2) Sum eqs (iii) & (ii), thus eliminating x
\n" ); document.write( "3) Determine the value of y. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
