You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x +3y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "5x +3y =16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply the first equation by -1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2x - 3y = -1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "add to second equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we get 3x = 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so x = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "substitute x in the first equation with 5 to solve for y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2A5+%2B+3y+=+1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10 + 3y = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve this one variable equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the answer is x = 5
\n" ); document.write( " y = -3
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
