Multiply both equations by 10 to eliminate decimals.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"3x-2y=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"5x%2B3y=710%2F23\"
\n" ); document.write( "Mulltiply eq. 1 by 3 and eq. 2 by 2 and add them to eliminate y,
\n" ); document.write( "\"9x-6y%2B10x%2B6y=120%2B1420%2F23\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"19x=2760%2F23%2B1420%2F23\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28+x=4180%2F437%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-2y=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12540%2F437-2y=17480%2F437\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2y=4940%2F437\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28+y=-2470%2F437%29\"

\n" );
