Solve using the substitution method
1/3 x - 1/5 y = 7
1/6 x + 2/5 y = -4
-----------------
Then eliminate the fractions and go from there.
1/3 x - 1/5 y = 7
times 15 --> 5x - 3y = 105
-----------------
1/6 x + 2/5 y = -4
times 30 --> 5x + 12y = -120
------------
5x - 3y = 105 --> 5x = 3y + 105
5x + 12y = -120
-------------
Sub for 5x in the 2nd eqn
(3y+105) + 12y = -120
15y = -225
y = -15
-----------
Sub for y in any eqn and find x
