You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1/2x + 1/3y = 7
1/4x + 2/3y = 6; multiply this by -2 and add the two
-1/2 x-4/3y=-12
-3/3y=-5
y=5
find x in the first one
1/2 x+5/3 =7
3x+10=42, multiplying by 6
3x=32
x=32/3
-------------
check in the second equation
8/3+(10/3)=18/3=6
(32/3,5)
C (10 2/3 is 32/3)
