x= first number
\n" ); document.write( "y= second number
\n" ); document.write( "Total sold
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 2 y = 68 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "Total value
\n" ); document.write( "2 x + 3 y = 112 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 2
\n" ); document.write( "-3 x -6 y = -204
\n" ); document.write( "4 x + 6 y = 224
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "1 x = 20
\n" ); document.write( "/ 1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 2 y = 68
\n" ); document.write( "20 + 2 y = 68
\n" ); document.write( " 2 y = 68 -20
\n" ); document.write( " 2 y = 48
\n" ); document.write( " y = 24
\n" ); document.write( "x= 20 first number
\n" ); document.write( "y= 24 second number
