\n" ); document.write( "If the equations are to be of the same line, then the two equations in Px+Qy=C should both have the same constant C.

\n" ); document.write( "So multiply the first equation by 10/7. Then we have

\n" ); document.write( "\"%2820%2F7%29x-%2810B%2F7%29y+=+10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Ax%2B3y+=+10\"

\n" ); document.write( "Now, since these equations are the same,

\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+20%2F7\"

\n" ); document.write( "and

\n" ); document.write( "\"-10B%2F7+=+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-10B+=+21\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B+=+-21%2F10\"

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWERS: A = 20/7; B = -21/10
