Question 211579
Don't like the fractions? Simply get rid of them. How do you do this? First take note that the LCD is 3. If you multiply EVERY term by the LCD, it will clear out the fractions. Note: this only works if you are dealing with equations.



{{{(11/3)y+(5/3)x=-8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{cross(3)((11/cross(3))y)+cross(3)((5/cross(3))x)=-8*3}}} Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 3 to clear out the fractions.



{{{11y+5x=-24}}} Multiply and simplify



I'll let you take it from here.
