(1/3)x + (2/1)y = (3/1)
\n" ); document.write( "(2/3)x - (3/5)y = (2/5)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 1st equation by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "(2/3)x + (4/1)y = (6/1)
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the 2nd equation from that to solve for y, as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "(23/5)y = 28/5
\n" ); document.write( "y = 28/23
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into one of the original equations to solve for x, as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)x + 56/23= 3
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)x = 69/23-56/23
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)x = 13/23
\n" ); document.write( "x = 39/23
