Question 162222: Our teacher didn't explain much about using Cramer rule with fractions so im at a lost at this equation.


{(2/3)x + (1/5)y = 3
{(3/2)x + (5/3)y = (2/3)


If it makes it any easier, our teacher said we can also use subtitution and elimination method.

--------------------
The fact that you have fractions does not make any difference in
using Cramer's Method.
But you can get rid of the fractions:
Multiply thru the 1st equation by 15 to get:
10x + 3y = 45
Multiply thru the 2nd equation by 6 to get:
9x + 10y = 4
------------------
Now, use Cramer or elimination to get:
x = 6
y = -5
