y+3x= -5......(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2y-3x= 9.....(2)
\n" ); document.write( "add eqn(1) and eqn(2)..we get
\n" ); document.write( "y+3x+2y-3x=-5+9=4
\n" ); document.write( "3y=4
\n" ); document.write( "y=4/3
\n" ); document.write( "substitute in eqn.1...4/3+3x=-5
\n" ); document.write( "3x=-5-4/3=(-3*5-4)/3=-19/3
\n" ); document.write( "x=-19/(3*3)=-19/9\r
\n" ); document.write( "
