\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " x cost of one package of tulip bulbs
\n" ); document.write( " y cost of one package of dahlia bulbs
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "14.00 x + 3.00 y = 267.00 ...........1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "7.00 x + 13.00 y = 352.00 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -13.00
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 3.00
\n" ); document.write( "-182.00 x -39.00 y = -3471.00
\n" ); document.write( "21.00 x 39.00 y = 1056.00

\n" ); document.write( "-161.00 x = -2415.00
\n" ); document.write( "/ -161.00
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15.00
