Yes, it is! Good job!
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 4y = 36.68______4(2x + y) = 4(9.17)_____2x + y = 9.17 ------ eq (i)
\n" ); document.write( "6x + 6y = 35.52______6(x + y) = 6(5.92)_______x + y = 5.92 ------ eq (ii)
\n" ); document.write( "x = $3.25------- Subtracting eq (ii) from eq (i) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
