Solve the system of equations:
\n" ); document.write( "1) \"3x%2F2%2By%2F4+=+7\" Multiply through by 4, the LCD to clear the fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "1a) \"6x%2By+=+28\"
\n" ); document.write( "2) \"x%2F5-2y%2F3+=+7%2F3\" Mulitiply through by 15, the LCD to clear the fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "2a) \"3x-10y+=+35\"
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite equation 1a) as:
\n" ); document.write( "1b) \"y+=+28-6x\" and substitute for y in equation 2a)
\n" ); document.write( "2b) \"3x+-+10%2828-6x%29+=+35\" Simplify and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "2c) \"3x+-+280%2B60x+=+35\"
\n" ); document.write( "2d) \"63x+=+315\" Divide both sides by 63.
\n" ); document.write( "2e) \"x+=+5\" Now substitute this for x in equation 1b)
\n" ); document.write( "1c) \"y+=+28-6%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "1d) \"y+=+-2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The solution to the system of equations is:
\n" ); document.write( "(5, -2)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
