Algebra.Com's Answer #212964 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! It can't be \n" ); document.write( "x + 6y = .19 \n" ); document.write( "since x has 0% solution \n" ); document.write( "and not 6 but .6 \n" ); document.write( "and you have to have .19 something\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6*.6=.19(y+6) \n" ); document.write( "y=12.9474 \n" ); document.write( "check \n" ); document.write( "3.6=18.94737*.19 \n" ); document.write( "ok \n" ); document.write( " |
