Solution
Solve the system of equations using substitution, elimination by addition, or augmented matrix methods (Show work)
7x+5y=4
5x-2y=14
From equation 1
7x=4-5y
X=(4-5y)/7
Substitute in equation 2
5*(4-5y)/7 -2y =14
Multiplying both sides by 7,
20-25y-14y=98
-39y=78
Y=-2
Substitute y= -2 in equation 1
7x+5(-2)=4
7x-10=4
7x=14
X=2
Answer: x=2, y= -2
