Onne way is to eliminate terms -2x+7y=2 3x-5y=-14 multiply first equation by 3 and second equaiton by 2 -6x+21y=6 6x-10y=-28 add them together to cancel x terms -6x+21y=6 <u>6x-10y=-28 +</u> 0x+11y=-22 11y=-22 divide by 11 y=-2 subsitute -2x+7(-2)=2 -2x-14=2 add 14 to both sides -2x=16 divide both sides by 2 -x=8 multiply -1 x=-8
