\n" ); document.write( "Equations::
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y = 120
\n" ); document.write( "4x + y = 64
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y = 1203
\n" ); document.write( "12x + 3y = 192
\n" ); document.write( "------
