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