Solve the system of equations using the elimination/addition method and state the appropriate solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+(1/3y)=(5/12)
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 3y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the top equation by 8 to get::
\n" ); document.write( "8x + (8/3)y = 40/12
\n" ); document.write( "8x + (9/3)y = 48/12
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract top from bottom and solve for \"y\"::
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)y = 8/12
\n" ); document.write( "y = 24/12 = 2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\"::
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 3y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 6 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "8x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1/4
\n" ); document.write( "------------
