Question from Mia: I am supposed to look for x and y. my teacher didn't explain very well. |
Hi Mia,
I would first eliminate the fractions. If you multiply both sides of the second equation by 4 and simplify you will have removed one of the fractions. Now multiply both sides of the resulting second equation by 3 and simplify you will have an equation with no fractions.
Can you solve the problem now? Write back if you need more assistance,
Penny
