#1 you can solve for 1/x and 1/y in the usual ways:
elimination: double the 1st and subtract
6/x - 4/y = 28
6/x + 3/y = 7
-------------------
7/y = -21
1/y = -3
then, 1/x = 8/3
or, y = -1/3 and x = 3/8
using substitution,
3/x = 14+2/y
2(14+2/y) + 3/y = 7
28 + 4/y + 3/y = 7
7/y = -21
1/y = -3
as above
For elimination, you can enter your coefficients at

and see all the details.
Please help Im am Grade 5 and my teacher is letting me do this.
1. Solve the solution by using elimination and substitution
3/x - 2/y = 14
6/x + 3/y = 7
2. Solve by eliminating x (this is solving 3 linear equations) then substitute to the other two equation
x + y + 5z =2 (1)
4x - 3y + 5z =3 (2)
3x - 2y + 5z=1 (3)
the solution set for this should be {(7,5-2)}
Please I really need your help
