5x - y = -7
4x + 2y = – 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

I assume that you want to solve this system of two equations

   (1) 5x - y  = -7

   (2) 4x + 2y = -14

We will multiply (1) by 2 and add to (2) so that we can eliminate the terms in y

2*(1)+(2) gives

   10x - 2y + 4x + 2y = -7*2 -14 = -14 - 14 = -28

   <=>

   14x = - 28 we can divide by 14 both parts

   x = -28/14 = -2

and then we replace x in (1)

   5*(-2)-y=-7

   -10-y=-7 add 7

   -10-y+7=0

   -3-y=0 add y

   -3 = y

which is equivalent to y = -3

do not hesitate if you have any question

x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - y = -7

4x + 2y = – 14

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(5x - y) = 2*-7

10x -2y = -14

Add this to the second equation to eliminate y

10x -2y = -14

4x + 2y = – 14

14x = -28

Divide by 14

14x/14 = -28/14

x = -2

Now find y

4x+2y = -14

4*-2 +2y = -14

-8+2y = -14

Add 8 to each side

2y = -6

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -6/2

y = -3

ad = ae + ed = y + 7

similar triangles therefor

ac/ab = ad/ae

6/4 = (y + 7) / y

cross multiply

6y = 4(y + 7)

6y = 4y + 28

2y = 28

y = 14
