Question

in order to solve the system of equations below , harvey multiplies each equation by a constant to eliminate the x terms.

Answer 1

`14x + 6y = 10 \\ - 14x - 35y = 77`

multiply all terms in the top equation by 2

multiply all terms in the second equation by -7. it would then add the two equations together to cancel out the variable x

You will then have two equations in terms of y

solve for y and either equation then substitute that value for y into the other equation then solve for x
