Rewrite equations:
x+y=14;42x+25y=486

Step: Solvex+y=14for x:
x+y=14
x+y+−y=14+−y(Add -y to both sides)
x=−y+14

Step: Substitute−y+14forxin42x+25y=486:
42x+25y=486
42(−y+14)+25y=486
−17y+588=486(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−17y+588+−588=486+−588(Add -588 to both sides)
−17y=−102
−17y
−17
=
−102
−17
(Divide both sides by -17)
y=6

Step: Substitute6foryinx=−y+14:
x=−y+14
x=−6+14
x=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)
