You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve each system by addition:
3x-2.5y=7.125
2.5x-3y=7.3125
--------------------
Multiply thru the 1st by 2.5 and the 2nd by 3 to get:
----------------
7.5x - 6.25y = 2.5*7.125
7.5x - 9 y = 3*7.3125
------------------------------
Subtract 2nd from 1st to solve for "y":
2.75y = -4.125
y = -1.5
--------------------
Substitute into 2.5x - 3(-1.5) = 7.3125
2.5x + 4.5 = 7.3125
2.5x = 2.8125
x = 1.125
