You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1/3x - 1/4y =-6
2x - 1/5y = 2/5
-----
Modify to get rid of the fractions::
4x - 3y = -6*12
10x - y = 2
-----
Modify for elimination::
4x - 3y = -72
30x - 3y = 6
----
Subtract and solve for "x"::
24x = 78
x = 39/12
---------------
Solve for "y"::
y = 10x-2
y = 390/12 - 24/12
y = 366/12
y = 30.5
