SOLUTION: 0.3x-0.2y=4
0.2x+0.5y=-75/17
This is supposed to be solved by the elimination method and the solution is an ordered pair of fractions simplified. Can someone please help me with

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 0.3x-0.2y=4
0.2x+0.5y=-75/17
-----------------
0.6x - 0.4y = 8 eqn 1 x 2
0.6x + 1.5y = -225/17 eqn 2 x 3
--------------------- Subtract
-1.9y = 361/17
y = -190/17
------------
0.3x + 38/17 = 4
0.3x = 30/17
x = 100/17
--> (100/17,-190/17)
