2x-3y=16
\n" ); document.write( "-3x+2y=-19
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 2
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 9y = 48
\n" ); document.write( "-6x + 4y = -38
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-5y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "divide each side by -5
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "substitute 2 for y in 2x-3y=16
\n" ); document.write( "2x-3(-2)=16
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "add -6 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "divide each side by2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "So we have x = 5, and y = -2 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
