\

The system of equations are $\"\"$ .

\

Observe the coefficient of each term are different, so the best method is Elimination using multiplication to solve the system of equations.

\

Elimination method:

\

$\"\"$ ----------(1)

\

$\"\"$ ----------(2)

\

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the first equation by 8. $\"\"$

\

Add the equations to eliminate the x - variable and solve the equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Divide each side by 7.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

The value of $\"\"$ substitute in either equation to find x.

\

First equation: $\"\"$ .

\

\

$\"\"$

\

Add 15 to each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Divide each side by 2.

\

$\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
