Question

How do you solve `3x-5y=14` and `x+4y=10`?

Answer 1

I found:
`x=106/17`
`y=16/17`

Explanation:

You can try isolate `x` from the second equation and substitute into the first:
`x=10-4y`
into the first:
`3(10-4y)-5y=14` solve for `y`:
`30-12y-5y=14`
`-17y=-16`
`y=16/17`
substitute this back into the the equation: `x=10-4y` to find:
`x=10-4*16/17=106/17`
