\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "-11 = -275/25
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I would do it like this:
\n" ); document.write( "5(26/25)+5y=-11
\n" ); document.write( "26/5 + 5y = -11
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate fractions
\n" ); document.write( "26 + 25y = -55
\n" ); document.write( "25y = -81
\n" ); document.write( "y = -81/25
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
