3x−4y=8
\n" ); document.write( "​18x−5y=10
\n" ); document.write( "eliminate x by multiplying the top equation by -6 then adding the two.
\n" ); document.write( "-18x+24y=-48
\n" ); document.write( "18x-5y=10
\n" ); document.write( "19y=-38
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into first equation
\n" ); document.write( "3x-4(-2)=8
\n" ); document.write( "3x+8=8
\n" ); document.write( "x=0
\n" ); document.write( "Check (0.-2) in the second equation.
\n" ); document.write( "0-5(-2)=10. It checks. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
