14. 1.5, 10 <- Answer
15. 5,1 <- Answer
Proof 14
Solve the following system:
{2 x - y = -7 | (equation 1)
4 x - y = -4 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
2 x - y = -7 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
0 x - y/2 = -5 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by -2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Add equation 2 to equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = 6 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = 3/2 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 1.5
y = 10
Proof 15.
Solve the following system:
{5 x + 7 y = 32 | (equation 1)
8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 1)
5 x + 7 y = 32 | (equation 2)
Subtract 5/8 × (equation 1) from equation 2:{8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 1)
0 x+(13 y)/4 = 13/4 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{4 x + 3 y = 23 | (equation 1)
0 x+(13 y)/4 = 13/4 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 4/13:
{4 x + 3 y = 23 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = 20 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = 5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 5 y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:
If you have any questions about the way I solved it, don't hesitate to ask me in the comments below :)
Simple...
you have: For every 14 seeds that Okra seeds Dana planted 9 of them grew; if he planted 182 seeds..how many grew?
Set up an equation...

Cross multiply....
14*x=14x
9*182=1638
14x=1638

x=117
This means that, for 182 seeds planted, 117 of them grew to be plants.
Thus, your answer.
