You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3/8,-3/5,33/80 4,4,23/35
 divide row 1 by 3/8
 1,-24/15,264/240
 4,4,23/35
 add  down (-4/1) *row 1 to row 2
 1,-8/5,11/10
 0,52/5,-1310/350
 divide row 2 by 52/5
 1,-8/5,11/10
 0,1,-655/1820
 We now have the value for the last variable.
 We will work our way up and get the other solutions.
 add up  (8/5) *row 2 to row 1
 1,0,9540/18200
 0,1,-131/364
 final
 1,0,477/910
 0,1,-131/364
 1,0,477/910 = 0.52417582
 0,1,-131/364 = -0.35989011
 "477/910","-131/364"
 (477/910,-131/364)
