    I would multiply to get rid of the decimals and work with whole numbers.

    Since we have numbers that are "hundredths", we would need to multiply every number by 100.

    60d + 5e = - 450

    -12d + 30e = 276 Now that the decimals are gone, if we multiply the second equation by 5 the "d's" will cancel.

    60d + 5e = - 450

    -60d + 150e = 1380

    155e = 930

    e = 6

    Now plug 6 back in for e and solve for d.

    60d + 5 (6) = - 450

    60d + 30 = - 450

    60d = - 480

    d = - 8

    (-8, 6)

    If you'd rather work it with decimals just let me know.
