x/3+y/5=-1
lcd = 15
multiply by the LCD
5x+3y=-15...............1
x-3y=-3................2
multiply (1)by 1
Multiply (2) by 1
5x+3y=-15
1x-3y=-3
Add the two equations
6x=-18
/6
x=-3
plug value of x in (1)
5x+3y=-15
-15+3y= -15
3y=-15+15
3y=0
y=0

x/3+y/5=-1, x-3y=-3. how do i solve this equation.
It's 2 equations.
--------------
x/3+y/5=-1 eqn 1
x - 3y= -3 eqn 2
------------------
5x +3y = -15 eqn 1 x15
x - 3y = -3 eqn 2
-------------------- Add
6x = -18
x = -3
---------
etc
