Use the method of elimination to solve
\n" ); document.write( "(x − 4)/3 + y = −2
\n" ); document.write( "(2y − 1)/7 + x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify::
\n" ); document.write( "x-4 + 3y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "2y-1 + 7x = 42
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange::
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 2y = 43
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination:
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 21y = -14
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 2y = 43
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "19y = -57
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x +3y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "x -9 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "--------
