Like terms are when numbers with and without variables can be combined. ex: 4x+6-8x+=32
you would first combine 4x and -8x because they are the same.
Solve for y by setting one equation =to X after that you can substitute the equation into the other one let's set the first one in X= FORM
X-7y=10
-2x+14y=-20
Add 7y to both sides of the first equation to let x stand alone
X=7y+10
Now you can substitute x on the second equation
-2 (7y+10)+14y=-20
Distribute
-14y-20+14y=-20
Add and simplify
Us cancel out =0
-20=-20
0=0
They are the same equations you can also divide the second equation by -2 which would make it look like this
X-7y=10
-2 (x-7y=10)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 2x - 6y = -12
(2) x + 2y = 14
There is a -6y and a +2y. Since they have opposite signs, I'll try to eliminate the y terms. (That's my choice. There is more than one way to solve these.)
Multiply eq. (2) by 3:
3x + 6y = 42
Then add the result to eq. (1) to eliminate the y terms:
2x - 6y = -12
3x + 6y = 42
------------------
5x = 30, so x = 6
Now plug the value of x into eq. (2) and solve for y:
6 + 2y = 14
2y = 8
y = 4
Why did I use eq. (2) to solve for y? Because it's less work. I could have used eq. (1) instead:
2(6) - 6y = -12
12 - 6y = -12
-6y = -24
y = 4
More than one way to solve.
