Divide both sides by 25 to isolate x:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It seems this system of equations would be solved easier using the elimination method (the x and y values are lined up).
Multiply everything in the first equation by -2 (we want the 4x to be able to cancel out with a -4x).
Now line up the equations (they are already lined up - convenient) and add them from top to bottom.
The -4x and 4x are opposites, so they cancel out.
Adding 6y and 2y gives you 8y, and adding -12 and 4 gives you -8.
Divide both sides by 8.
Since you have the y-value you can substitute this in to the second (or first equation, it doesn't necessarily matter) equation.
Simplify.
Add 2 to both sides.
Divide both sides by 4.
The final answer is .
