Your doing everything correctly
2y=10x-14
5x-y=7
Divide both sides by 2 in the 1st equation
y=5x-7
Now substitute is to 2nd equation
5x-5x+7=7
0=0
Therefore there is no solution or it is inconsistent
<span>210 miles equals 1 and 1/2 inches (3 1/2"s or 0.5"). 1 and 1/2" is equal to two 3/4" (3/4 + 3/4 = 1 and 1/2). 1.5" is equal to 210 miles, and 1.5" is equal to 2 * .75", you can divide 210 miles by two, which gives you 105 miles.</span>
