You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x + 4y = -2 ---------------(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x - 2y = -5 ------------------(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2) multiplied by 2 gives, 6x - 4y = -10 --------(3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 2x + 4y = -2 ------------(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Adding the above equations,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x = - 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> x = -12/8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " = -3/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plugging this in (1), 2(-3/2) + 4y = -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " -3 + 4y = -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 4y = -2 + 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 4y = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " y = 1/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus x = -3/2 and y = 1/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
