Given two linear equations
a * X + b * Y = c
(1)
d * X + e * Y = f
(2)
-a
, on both sides of course,
and add the result to equation (1). The new equation, (3), you get has
no X
in it.
(1) + -a * (2)
(3)
Y
.
Y
back into either equation
(1) or equation (2), take your pick. You now get an equation, (4),
with no Y
in it.
X
