solve each equation by addition method
\n" ); document.write( "x/2+y/4=1
\n" ); document.write( "-x/4-y/8=1
\n" ); document.write( "

Simply multiply each equation by its LCD
\n" );
document.write( "    -------- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( " -------- eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "  2x + y = 4 ----- Multiplying eq (i) by LCD, 4
\n" );
document.write( "- 2x - y = 8 ----- Multiplying eq (ii) by LCD, 8
\n" );
document.write( "  ------> False, so NO SOLUTION \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
