You can put this solution on YOUR website!
solve by elimination process.
\n" ); document.write( "0.3x -0.2y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "0.5x + 0.3y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru both equations by 10 to get rid of those decimals:
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 2y = 40
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 3y = 50
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 1st quation by 3 and the 2nd equation by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "9x -6y = 120
\n" ); document.write( "10x+6y = 100
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations so you can solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "19x = 220
\n" ); document.write( "x = 220/19
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute to solve for Y:
\n" ); document.write( "3(220/19) -2y = 40
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 19 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "660 -38y = 760
\n" ); document.write( "38y = -100
\n" ); document.write( "y = -50/19
\n" ); document.write( "================
\n" ); document.write( "Ordered pair solution: (220/19 , -50/19)
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
