Question from Zaheer:

solve simultaneous equations and give answer in fractional form
3x - 2 = 4y +5/3
y + 7 = 2x + 4
would really appreciate some help on this please

Hi,

I would start by eliminating the fraction in the first equation. To accomplish this multiply both sides of the first equation by 3.

Can you solve the problem now?

Write back if you need more assistance,
Penny
