Hint: multiply everything by 10 and get it into the form Ax + By = C

why by 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it must be B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

because you want 6.9 to be an integer so the natural thing to do is move the decimal over 1 spot to the right (ie multiply by 10)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you do this for every term
