What am I doing wrong?
1/3x + 1/2y=2/3
2/3x-2/5=1/5
I am multiplying the first equation by 6 and the second by 15. My results:
2x+3y=4
10x-6y=3
than I multiplying the first equation by 10 and the second equation by -2.
20x+30y=4
-20x+12y=-6
when I go solve it, I do not get the same answer which is 11/14,17/21. What am I doing wrong?
