-7x+14y=-14 -3x+7y=-3 when using elimination you need to multiply or divide one equation to be able to “eliminate” a variable. -7x+14y=-14 -2(-3x+7y=-13) multiply the second equation by -2 -7x+14y=-14 6x-14y=6 simplify -1x=-8 divide by -1 on both sides to isolate the x x=8 now you can plug in 8 for x in one of the equations. -3(8)+7y=-3 simplify -24+7y=-3 add -24 to both sides the isolate the constant and variable 7y=21 now divide by 7 on both sides to isolate y y=3 this system of equation had one solution at (8, 3)
