3x+4y=62 & 5x+2y=52
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "5x+2y=52: multiply all times -2 and add to the other equation
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "3x+4y=62
\n" ); document.write( "+
\n" ); document.write( "-10x-4y= -104
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "-7x 0y = -42
\n" ); document.write( "-7x = - 42
\n" ); document.write( "x = -42/-7 divide to get your answer. Remember that -/- = + so in this case you can ignore the - sign, just divide 42/7 or do it in your head, by now you should know that 42 is the product of 7 x 6
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "Now find y, substitute in the original equations:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+4y=62; 3(6)+4y = 62; 18+4y = 62; 4y = 44; y = 11
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "Check: let's try the answers in the two equations:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+4y=62; 3(6)+4(11) = 62; 18+44 = 62 Correct
\n" ); document.write( "Now the other equation:
\n" ); document.write( "5x+2y=52; 5(6)+2(11) = 52; 30+22 = 52 Also correct.
\n" ); document.write( "You now have the correct answers. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
