Elimination is the process when you eliminate numbers to solve for x and y....so, lets solve! :)

so i think first you need rewrite these equations in standard form

anonymous · Answer

ok.. so we would need to get both x and y on the same side of the equation, right? so after putting the equation in standard form it would read.. 7/18x+5/9y=1 and -8x=-36? sorry i type really slow when imthinking :p  :)

I'm really lost.. I  can do this really well with regular numbers.. but fractions are harder
