SOLUTION: 1/2x - 1/6y = 3
2/5x + 1/2y = 2
These are to be solved using the elimination method. I do not even know where to begin! Help please!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! to eliminate a variable, you need to get the absolute values of two terms in two different equations to equal each other
multiplying the first equation by 3 gives (3/2)x-(1/2)y=9
adding this to the second equation eliminates the y term and gives (19/10)x=11 ... x=110/19
