Solve the system using any algebraic method.
1/2x+2/3y=5/6
5/12x+7/12y=3/4
-----------
Modify the equations:
3x + 4y = 5
5x + 7y = 9
-------------------
Adjust:
15x + 20y = 25
15x + 21y = 27
----------------------
Subtract and solve for "y"
y = 2
---
Solve for "x":
3x + 4y = 5
3x + 8 = 5
3x = -3
x = -1
