1.\"3x%2B7y=-33\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"2x-y=12\"
\n" ); document.write( "From eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=12%2By\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying by 3,
\n" ); document.write( "3.\"6x=36%2B3y\"
\n" ); document.write( "I'll call this equation 3.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying eq. 1 by 2 you get,
\n" ); document.write( "\"6x%2B14y=-66\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting from eq. 3,
\n" ); document.write( "\"36%2B3y%2B14y=-66\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"17y=-102\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y and then use any of the equations to solve for x.
