$\"+2x%2B%282%2F3%29y=-8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F2%29x-%281%2F3%29y=1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply 3 times the top equation. 6x+2y=-24
\n" ); document.write( "multiply 6 times the bottom equation. 3x-2y=6 no more fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "add the equations vertically. 9x=-18
\n" ); document.write( "x=-2
\n" ); document.write( "-6-2y=6
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=12
\n" ); document.write( "y=-6
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "2*-2+2/3*-6=-8...-4-4=-8
\n" ); document.write( "1/2*-2-1/3*-6=1...-1+2=1
